THE VILLAGE AT LYONS DEMESNE THE VILLAGE The ancient seventh century church and settlement of Cluain Eaghlis grew up close to this spot beneath Lyons Hill, from where 10 Kings of Leinster had ruled during the first millennium. The Village at Lyons lies along the scenic towpath of the Grand Canal at Aylmers Bridge and Lyons Demesne the former home of the Aylmers, an old Kildare dynasty, and later the Lawless family who held the title of Lord Cloncurry. The village derives its name from an ancient town and castle, which were both destroyed in the war of 1641. Built on the original site of this ancient fortification, The village at Lyons fully sprang to life with the arrival of the Grand Canal, which was built circa 1756 to 1803. The canal was a vital transport link in Ireland as it was much cheaper and much more reliable than road transport at the time. The construction of Lyons House nearby in 1786 and its lavish reconstruction by Valentine Lawless in 1800-03 meant that a thriving community grew up along the canal bank. By 1850 this included a hotel, a forge, several shops, workshops and a police barracks. Joseph P. Shackleton took over the flourmill, a relation of the Antarctic explorer. In 1865 when canal traffic peaked, 90 barges a day passed through here bringing flour, local merchandise and stone from the Ardclough quarries to Dublin City. The mill accidentally burned in 1903, the canal was closed to traffic in 1960, Lyons House was sold in 1963, and life in the village came to a halt as community activity focused instead on nearby Ardclough. Village life was reborn after 1996 with the restoration of the first of the village homesteads. We invite you to share in our enjoyment of this SanPietro Chapel, historic place.

  • Arthur's Way Heritage Trail
    HERITAGE TRAIL Arthur’s Way is a heritage trail across northeast County Kildare that follows in the footsteps of Arthur Guinness. In just 16 km, it links many of the historic sites associated with Ireland’s most famous brewers – the Guinness family. Visitors are invited to explore Celbridge - where Arthur spent his childhood, Leixlip - the site of his first brewery and Oughterard graveyard - Arthur’s final resting place near his ancestral home. The trail rises gently from the confluence of the Liffey and Rye rivers at Leixlip to the Palladian Castletown House estate and onto Celbridge. It then departs the Liffey Valley to join the Grand Canal at Hazelhatch. The grassy towpaths guide visitors past beautiful flora and fauna and the enchanting Lyons Estate. At Ardclough, the route finally turns for Oughterard which offers spectacular views over Kildare, Dublin and the Province of Leinster. R o yaal l C a MAAYNOOTHYNOOTH nnala l R .

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.

The increase in the cost of living and the increased prices which the farmers was getting for his produce had been mainly instrumental in bringing about increased wages. The wages however are still very low. The usual daily wage current in 1913 were for men 2s to 3s 6d, for women 1s 6d to 3s.
