Drumcar history walk

ANNAGASSAN and District Historical Society’s next event is a 2 km ( 1.3 mile) history walk around Drumcar and Willistown. Led by Bryan Rogers, it is on Sunday July 29 at 2:30pm. The walk will begin with a visit to St. Fintan’s Church where we will view the McClintock Mausoleum and the McClintock memorial window by the stainedglass artist Harry Clarke. Bryan will also discuss the history of the Lynch gate and local involvement in the Boer war and WW1. From the church we will walk towards Willistown House where Bryan will outline the long history of the house and its occupants. He will also talk about the Willistown poet ‘Pip’ Lynch.

Please park at the car park beside St. Mary’s Drumcar’s swimming pool. A bus will be organised to take people from Willistown House back to the car park. We will provide refreshments at the end of the walk, which costs € 5 (children are free) and all are welcome!
