To mark National Heritage Week and in tandem with ‘Tinryland’s Heritage Audio Guide’ project, this Photographic Exhibition will capture the locality’s rich history, heritage and all strands of community past and present, as recorded down through the years in the annual local parish magazine “Reaching Out” and other local publications.

The Exhibition will cover Tinryland’s Heritage, encompassing the History of its Churches, Graveyards, School, Parish Hall, all Sports, ICA, Arts and Music, residential estates, businesses and all strands of life in the Community. Tracing the role of its people in the 1798 Rebellion and the Famine years, to modern everyday life, the Exhibition will be all embracing, giving also a flavour of the Neolithic burial find at Linkardstown, to the early Medieval Cross at Killogan, to the famed monastic settlement of Rath Melsigi where St. Willibrord once studied, to the Clonmelsh Burial Site of Walt Disney’s ancestor and to the Ballybar Racecourse – once Ireland’s Cheltenham!!

For many, this event will be a trip down memory lane and the younger generation will get an idea of what life was like before the advent of modern technology.
All are welcome to come to the Exhibition & share in Tinryland’s Heritage, History, Culture & Community.

The Exhibition is Free of Charge
