Manor House was converted from a private residence into the Agent's house in 1835, to the design of the architect W.J. Booth. Further alterations carried out in 1875 included raising the two side wings and adding a parapet over the central part. Colonel Sir William Fitzwilliam Lenox-Conyngham (1824-1906) accepted the Agency of the Drapers' Company of Londonderry in 1882 and in this capacity lived in the Manor House for some time. In the later half of the 20th Century the building functioned as a restaurant owned by the Dunlop family. Moneymore Heritage Trust purchased the building in 1995. The Manor House, built by the Drapers Company in the 1840's, is situated in the middle of the historic conservation village of Moneymore. Recent extensive renovations to the four storey building has combined contemporary comforts with 19th Century charm providing luxury accommodation in County Tyrone. Manor House Lodge provides a range of very comfortable accommodation of different room types on the top two floors. These range from twin bedded rooms to bunk style rooms including one disabled room. This gives the flexibility to suit everyone's needs, whether an independent traveller or in a large group. In the left wing, newly opened from the summer is Image] Image]
