Baronscourt

Baronscourt in 1840, from The County Seats of the Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland, by Francis Orpen Morris.[1]

Baronscourt, Barons-Court or Baronscourt Castle is a Georgian country house and estate 4.5 km southwest of Newtownstewart in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, and is the seat of the Duke of Abercorn. It is a Grade A-listed building.

Baronscourt is the caput or chief residence in Ireland of the Dukes of Abercorn. It was called Baronscourt because, in the Peerage of Ireland, the Abercorns are the Barons Hamilton of Strabane. The house is surrounded by the Baronscourt Estate.
