\n

The Kildare Council of Comhaltas Ceolteoiri is marking its 50t h anniversary this year – a period in which it is added greatly to the mus ical culture of the County.

\n

Coinciding with Fleadh Cheoil Chill Da ra which takes place in Clane this week the Kildare Council of CCÉ  has or ganised this event which should be of interest to local historians.

\n< p>Comhaltas in Kildare have maintained an impressive archive of its events and news through the years and a display of this material provides an ins ight into a perhaps under studied facet of the county’s cultural history.< /p>\n

Kildare Federation of Local His tory Groups DESCRIPTION:
\n

The 18th Annual Seminar and AGM of the Co. Kildare Federation o f Local History Groups will take place on Saturday 7th of October 2017.

\n

This year the seminar will undergo a chang e in format and location taking place in Celbridge under the auspices of < strong>Celbridge Historical Society who have kindly offered to ho st us. The Seminar will take place in Ireland’s earliest surviving and gra ndest Palladian Mansion Castletown House.

\n

\n

The new seminar/AGM format will retain its well established emphasis on sharing our experienc es and catching up on the activities of the various member groups during t he previous year. There will be the usual chance for chats over tea/coffee and an optional lunch will be available locally between the indoor and ou tdoor parts of the day.

\n

It promises to be an interesting programme of history and heritage in one of our county’s historic estate towns. In the public session which starts at 11am after the AGM\, Turtle Bun bury will explore a broad sweep of history from one year\, 1847\, in a talk based on his very popular book 1847: a Chronicle of Genius\, Generosity and Savagery.

\n

Turtle Bunbury i s the author of Vanishing Ireland and The Glorious Madness: t ales of the Irish and the Great War. His most recent book is 1847: a Chronicle of Genius\, Generosity and Savagery (D ublin: Gill 2016)\, in which he focuses on the historical events of a sing le year\, 1847 – a revolutionary year that\, in Turtle’s own word s\, ‘turned the world upside down’.  In this globetrotting histor y he addresses everything from the trauma and horror of the Great Famine\, to the showmanship of Lola Montez and Tom Thumb.

\n

After lunch we will focus in on the local heritage of Celbridge\ , with a walking tour starting at 2.15pm at the Slip Hall (Behind Christch urch at the main gates of Castletown). Celbridge has a weal th of historic architectural structures of regional and national importanc e\, and boasts connections with many highly significant historic personage s from its era as an estate town. Celbridge\, however\, has much older roo ts stretching back to early ecclesiastical settlements as its name would s uggest.

\n

Both aspects of the town’s heritage will be explored in a tour guided by Clebridge Historical Society which will visit some of the t owns most historic locations including an 18th century town house garden\, Celbridge Abbey grounds and an early ecclesiastical site in Tea Lane whic h ties both strands of the town’s history together.

\n

So make a note in your diary for the 7th of October!

Professor Jim Walsh\, Maynooth University\, will give an illustrated lecture Maps Rather Than Tractor Parts  – Horses to Tractors – the spread of a r evolutionary innovation in farming in Ireland\, 1917 to 1991

\n

The lecture will trace the development of tractors in North America in the late nineteenth century and their transfer to Great Britain and Ireland. The main focus will be on mapping and interpreting the spread of tractors across the country as part of the transition from farming as a lifestyle r eliant on horses and many farm workers to one that became business-like wi th a heavy dependence on technology and a drastically reduced input of lab our.

Michael Rowley will give an illustrated talk on the following:

\n

In October 1941\, a Luftwaff e Heinkel He 111 medium bomber crashed on the Blackstairs Mountains\, Co. Wexford\, killing its four crew members. Aircraft of this type had earlier in 1941 bombed the Curragh and in a seperate incident the North Strand\, Dublin\, resulting in many civilian deaths. Within the military district o f the Curragh Command\, Local Defence Force Volunteer Jim Rowley was poste d as sentry on the wreckage of the Heinkel bomber. Now drawing extensively on once top secret G2 Military Intelligence  files relating to the crash landing of belligerent aircraft\, Michael will discuss the subsequent intr igue surrounding the recovery of this fateful aircraft. To illustrate this talk Michael will have on display on the night over a dozen artifacts rec overed from original Heinkel’s He 111 aircraft.

\n

All welcom e!
