Editing Springhill House (section)

===William Conyngham II===
Marriage articles between William Conyngham II (known to the family as "Good Will") and Ann Upton of [[Castle Upton]] near [[Templepatrick]] executed 168, stated that he was required "to build a convenient house of lime and stone, two stories high ... with necessary office houses" for his wife-to-be. It is widely believed that the present house owes its origin to this document though [[dendrochronological]] examination of the roof timbers on the central part of the house date the beams to after 1690. At this time, many of the surviving outbuildings along with the rare Dutch styled gardens were created.
