Bellingham Castle Wedding Brochure B E M L A L I N G H BELLINGHAM CASTLE Something OLD… Nestled in the heart of beautiful County Louth, Bellingham Castle dates from 1660 and is steeped in history. It has been burnt down (by King James II), been home to a brewery and used as one of the ancestral homes for the Bellingham family from the 17th Century until the 1950s. It also has a long and distinguished reputation as a location of romance. In 1905, Bellingham Castle was the venue for the wedding celebrations of Augusta Mary Monica Bellingham, daughter of Sir Alan Bellingham, 4th Baronet; to the 4th Marquis of Bute, John Crichton-Stuart. As the society event of the year, the wedding attracted worldwide media attention and footage from the wedding celebrations still exists. In December 2012, the castle - including the 17 acres - was acquired by the Corscadden family. The family also own Ballyseede Castle in Co. Kerry, Cabra Castle in Co. Cavan and Markree Castle in Co. Sligo as part of Ireland’s finest collection of privately-owned castles – Romantic Castles of Ireland. At Bellingham, the welcome is warm, the facilities luxurious and the memories, eternal. Our weddings are all individual and the castle is all yours for the duration of your stay.

It was wonderfully quiet and provides a pleasant existence for its inhabitants. A lot of plans and work throughout the villages was evident – well done. THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT There are a great number of historic buildings in the village and these are displayed well. St. Marys Church and graveyard are well kept. The mature planting around the Crowing Cock and the School really hold their own in a year when the damp weather has not helped the flowering annuals. The entrance to the Castle and the historic area around the Church looked well. Heaveys in the main street displayed some nice sign writing. J Byrnes has a fine traditional shopfront – it is a pity that many of these are being lost around the country. Foleys displays wonderful thatch and makes a nice stopping off point for both visitors and villagers alike. Can any use be found for the old grain store as it is a fine building and should not be allowed to fall into disrepair? Consideration should be given to the replacement of some of the plastic signage over some of the shops when the time comes to replace them.

    NEW Heritage Guide 69.qxp_H Guide no 31 rachel 26/05/2015 11:45 Page 1 What is Táin Bó Cúailnge? Táin Bó Cúailnge is the story of a cattle-raid reputed to have taken place during winter sometime around the time of Christ. Set in a rural, tribal and pagan Ireland, it is peopled with fearless warriors, haughty queens and kings and prize bulls (cover photo). It is often Heritage Guide No. 69 ranked alongside Ireland’s greatest literary classics and frequently described as ‘epic literature’. This sobriquet arises from its comparison to the heroic tales of Greece, and recent scholarship suggests that the stimulus for its composition was the translation of Togail Troí (Destruction of Troy) into Irish in the tenth century. The more traditional ‘nativist’ view sees the Táin as originating, fully formed, from oral tradition to be set down on vellum in the seventh century. What is clear is that Táin Bó Cúailnge is not unique but forms part of a small group of tána bó (cattle-raiding stories), themselves part of the Ulster Cycle, one of four great categories of by Castletown Mount alias Dún Dealgan alias Delga (Pl. 2), held in medieval Irish literature.

  • The Winter Camp of the Viking Great Army, Ad 872–3, Torksey, Lincolnshire
    The Antiquaries Journal, 96, 2016, pp 23–67 © The Society of Antiquaries of London, 2016 doi:10.1017⁄s0003581516000718 THE WINTER CAMP OF THE VIKING GREAT ARMY, AD 872–3, TORKSEY, LINCOLNSHIRE Dawn M Hadley, FSA, and Julian D Richards, FSA, with contributions by Hannah Brown, Elizabeth Craig-Atkins, Diana Mahoney-Swales, Gareth Perry, Samantha Stein and Andrew Woods Dawn M Hadley, Department of Archaeology, University of Sheffield, Northgate House, West Street, Sheffield S14ET, UK. Email: d.m.hadley@sheffield.ac.uk Julian D Richards, Department of Archaeology, University of York, The King’s Manor, York YO17EP, UK. Email: [email protected] This paper presents the results of a multidisciplinary project that has revealed the location, extent and character of the winter camp of the Viking Great Army at Torksey, Lincolnshire, of AD 872–3. The camp lay within a naturally defended area of higher ground, partially surrounded by marshes and bordered by the River Trent on its western side. It is considerably larger than the Viking camp of 873–4 previously excavated at Repton, Derbyshire, and lacks the earthwork defences identified there. Several thousand individuals overwintered in the camp, including warriors, craftworkers and merchants. An exceptionally large and rich metalwork assemblage was deposited during the Great Army’s overwintering, and metal processing and trading was undertaken. There is no evidence for a pre-existing Anglo-Saxon trading site here; the site appears to have been chosen for its strategic location and its access to resources. In the wake of the overwintering, Torksey developed as an important Anglo-Saxon borough with a major wheel-thrown pottery industry and multiple churches and cemeteries.
