The
series will run for ten weeks, every Thursday from 9 January to 12 March. Lectures are held at Dunhill Multi-Education
Centre (opposite the GAA grounds: Eircode - X91 FVF9).
Starting at 8 p.m., each lecture lasts about an hour
and is followed by a question & answer session and light refreshments.
The next lecture will be held
on Thursday 30 January. The speaker will be Julian Walton and his subject will be:
The Hore family of
Dungarvan
The Hores (the name means “white-haired”) were the
leading merchant family in Dungarvan during the 16th and 17th
centuries and also had a fine mansion at Shandon outside the town. The map of their estate, drawn up in 1760,
now restored and on display in our County Museum,
provides a fascinating and indispensable record of Dungarvan 260 years ago
We hope you will be able to
attend.
