Lecture by Finola Finlay 

Thurs Jan 28 2021 

8pm

What do we call a castle in West Cork? Who built them, when and why? How were they constructed? What was their role in West Cork history? Where have some of them gone and what's the future for the ones we have left? 

Finola Finlay studied history and archaeology at UCC. After spending most of her adult life in Canada she is back in West Cork, picking up where she left off. Finola and her husband, Robert Harris, write the popular arts and culture blog, Roaringwater Journal ( https://roaringwaterjournal.com/).

Documentary: Three Local Stories

Produced as part of Heritage Week 2021, this documentary tells three stories. The first part is the history of Lisselane Estate and in particular two of its owners – the infamous landlord William Bence Jones and in more modern times, C. O. Stanley. The second section concentrates on Kilgarriffe old cemetery and some of the many important individuals and families interred there over the last three hundred years or so. The final section of the video highlights Ring Village and the nearby Ballintemple Graveyard, detailing the importance of Ring as a port and the 800-year history of the cemetery wherein lay the remains of Tadhg an Asna among other notable names.
