About
Bellaghy Bawn is a fortified house and bawn in Bellaghy, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
Construction began in c. 1614 under John Rowley. After Rowley's death in 1617, the bawn's construction was continued by Baptist Jones (died c. 1623). The original bawn burned down during the 1641 Irish Rebellion and was rebuilt in 1643. It has received extensions since. It became a museum in 1996.
