Belville House
A map dating from 1600 shows a very large building with a flag flying from it. Nothing is known of its early history until 1620 when the Royal School is thought to have been located here until the rebellion of 1641. After the act of restoration in 1660 an act of parliament allowed the school to be moved to Dungannon. It is believed that a tunnel exists below the house, linking it to Mountjoy Fort.
The house was restored in 1682 by Captain John Morris and his wife, whom we know only by the initial of her name, “F”, which is shown on the date stone and coat of arms above the front door.

Belville House
Like many old houses it was reputed to be haunted. Lady Morris hanged herself from a beam in the attic and her ghost walked until exorcised by a priest. He ordered the spirit into a bottle until corn in an adjacent field was cut, and the priest was never seen again. The story goes that the bottle was built into a wall in the attic of the house.
