A step back in time !!!

Yesterday we got a talk by my old primary school principle on the history of Celbridge. It was very interesting. He has written a book on the history of Celbridge. He talked about how Celbrideg began and about Castletown house, and the man who built Castletown house Speaker William Connaly.  He built Castletown as his summer house between 1722 to 1729. he only spent weekends and summer in Castletown. There is a lot of  hstory were i live and i never knew about it. We are planning during the good weather for him to come back and bring us on a tour of all the historic sites in Celbridge.
