📚 Irish Linen Centre & Lisburn Museum Talk
‘Ulster Townlands in the Seventeenth-Century Sources’ by Andrew Kane
🗓️ Thursday 6th March | 6:30pm | Irish Linen Centre & Lisburn Museum
The seventeenth century was a time of diligent record-keeping, which we can access today to better understand where we have come from. Fundamental to this was the ‘townland’. Lisnagarvey, Mealough, and Ballynadolly are just some local examples in the Lisburn and Castlereagh area, but what is a townland? What was their purpose? Why do they matter? This talk explores these questions by considering the use of the ancient network of Ulster townlands in government documents during the 1600s, showing how they remain relevant to us today.
