‘A period of change for Howth Castle” with Daniel Eglington-Carey

Howth Castle in North County Dublin was the home of the St. Lawrence family as Lords and Earls of Howth from the 1230s. In 1909 a new branch of the family set about restoring and expanding the castle through the guidance of Edwin Lutyens, dragging the antiquated castle from dilapidation into the modern age. This talk will examine the position of Howth Castle during this time drawing on newly discovered archival photographs. 6pm with registration at 5:45pm at City Assembly House.
