our experiences and catching up on the activities of the various member g
roups during the previous year. There will be the usual chance for chats o
ver tea/coffee and an optional lunch will be available locally between the
indoor and outdoor parts of the day.\nIt promises to be an interesting pr
ogramme of history and heritage in one of our county’s historic estate tow
ns. In the public session which starts at 11am after the AGM\, Turtle Bunb
ury 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 a

lorious Madness: tales of the Irish and the Great War. His most recent boo
k is 1847: a Chronicle of Genius\, Generosity and Savagery (Dublin: Gill 2

7 – a revolutionary year that\, in Turtle’s own words\, ‘turned the world
upside down’. In this globetrotting history he addresses everything from
the trauma and horror of the Great Famine\, to the showmanship of Lola Mon

Celbridge\, with a walking tour starting at 2.15pm at the Slip Hall (Behin

f historic architectural structures of regional and national importance\,
and boasts connections with many highly significant historic personages fr
om its era as an estate town. Celbridge\, however\, has much older roots s
tretching back to early ecclesiastical settlements as its name would sugge
st.\nBoth aspects of the town’s heritage will be explored in a tour guided
by Clebridge Historical Society which will visit some of the towns most h
istoric locations including an 18th century town house garden\, Celbridge
Abbey grounds and an early ecclesiastical site in Tea Lane which ties both
