Tynan Abbey

Tynan Abbey in County Armagh, Northern Ireland, was a large neo-gothic-romantic country house built c. 1750 (later renovated c. 1815) and situated outside the village of Tynan. It was home to the Stronge family until 1981, when it was set on fire by incendiary devices after the Provisional IRA shot dead Sir Norman Stronge aged 86 and his son James Stronge aged 48, a Royal Ulster Constabulary officer; its ruins were demolished in 1998, having stood for 249 years.
