==Present day== The house today contains a vitally important and almost complete collection of one family's occupation for three hundred years. In the Gun Room can be found one of the largest surviving 18th century wallpaper schemes surviving in the UK (Chinese wallpaper from the 1720s), along with a "long gun" dating to about 1680 which was presented to Alderman James Lenox after the [[Siege of Derry]]. Present is a six-inches-long muzzle-loader and two late 18th-Century blunder busses. The Library contains one of the most important collections of 17th and 18th century books in Ireland and is composed of around 3000 volumes, the oldest of which is a small Latin [[psalter]] of 1541. In the old laundry can be found the largest costume collection in Northern Ireland (established by [[Viscount Clanwilliam]]{{Clarify|date=January 2025|reason=I can't find any reference of a peer holding this title at this date}} in 1960) and a selection from the collection is displayed annually in the costume museum. The bedroom contains an intriguing medicine chest, once owned by the 3rd Viscount Molesworth. Springhill was used for the location of the three-part adaptation of [[Eugene McCabe]]'s modern Irish classic, ''[[Death and Nightingales (TV series)|Death and Nightingales]]'', first broadcast in November 2018, featuring as the home of landowner Billy Winters.
