Wicklow Abstract: Not only until nearly the end of his life did the public learn anything about the private life of Nationalist leader and icon, C.S. Parnell - his relationship with Mrs. O'Shea. Very few knew anything about his obsession with mining, nor how he shared this with his grandfather's generation, with his father and brother. This is an investigation of their stories. It was therefore appropriate that the Mining Heritage Trust choose Avondale House, the home of the Parnell's, as the venue for the 2003 NAMHO meeting.

  • PROPOSED DRAFT Wicklow County Development Plan 2016-2022
    DRAFT Wicklow County Development Plan 2016-2022 CHAPTER 10 - HERITAGE 10.1 Introduction The purpose of this chapter is to set out strategies and objectives with regard to the heritage of the County. The chapter is divided into the two main areas of built heritage and natural heritage (including landscape). The maps and schedules associated with this chapter are presented at the end of the chapter. 10.2 Built Heritage The built heritage of Wicklow refers to all man-made features, buildings or structures in the environment. This includes a rich and varied archaeological and architectural heritage to be found throughout the countryside and within the historic towns and villages of the county. Archaeological sites, features and objects both above and below ground, or underwater are evidence of human settlement from our earliest ancestors down to more recent centuries and provide information on how people in the area lived, worked and died. The architectural heritage relates to visible structures or buildings above ground of special value locally, regionally, nationally or even internationally. It covers many different building types, such as domestic houses, churches and shop premises but also includes other built elements such as bridges, piers, roads, engine houses, railways, holy wells, boundary walls to large estates, millraces, sluices and street furniture. The architectural and archaeological heritage of a town, village or place contributes greatly to the distinctive character of each local area. The Council is committed to safeguarding this heritage so that future generations may also enjoy this inheritance. This can be achieved by sensitively managing changes that occur to this heritage and by ensuring that significant elements, features or sites are retained.
