We were delighted to welcome Minister for Heritage Malcolm Noonan T.D. to St Catherine's Church, Rush where he could see the works completed under the Community Monuments Fund and also updated him on the Fingal Structures & Monuments at Risk as well as the Fingal Historic Tombs Project. He then went on to meet with volunteers of the Drumanagh Community Archaeology Project and then on to visit Heritage conservation works at Newbridge Demesne. #diggingdrumanagh #fingal #heritage #newbridgehouse #conservation #archaeology #MalcolmNoonan @AnnMarieFingal @FingalHeritage @DeptHousingIRL @HeritageHubIRE @noonan_malcolm @NewbridgeHF @RushTourism @RushTidyTowns

Fingal’s heritage properties or “the Big Houses” such as Malahide Castle, Ardgillan Castle and Newbridge have an association with the counties food heritage that goes beyond fine dining rooms and elaborate recipes. The story of food at the Big Houses offers an insight not only into what previous generations of the households there were eating, but also the role in historic houses and demesnes played in food production in Fingal, and the associated social history of the people that worked in them. Join curator Cathal Dowd-Smith for a unique insight into the food heritage of Newbridge House Demesne.  #heritagebuildings #heritage #Fingal #newbridgehouse #malahidecastle #ardgillancastle #history #food #ireland #irish #tourism @AnnMarieFingal @abcassin @DeptHousingIRL @HeritageHubIRE @FingalHeritage @NewbridgeHF @MalahideCastleG @ArdgillanCastle @MayorofFingal @AdrianHenchy @Failte_Ireland @LoveFingalDub

At Newbridge House, we're safeguarding our rich heritage for generations to come. Our dedicated team is hard at work, ensuring the building's legacy lives on through careful conservation and restoration efforts. From weatherproofing the roof to maintaining the building's original character, we're committed to honouring its history. The massive scaffold has been a lifesaver, keeping us on schedule despite the unpredictable weather. As we prepare to lower the scaffold in the coming weeks, we're excited to begin facade restoration work, all while staying true to the building's unique charm. Newbridge House Demesne opened as a regional park in 1986, with approximately 370 acres of gently undulating pastureland, woodland walks, a deer park, lime kiln, the ruins of Lanistown Castle, watercourses and pleasure grounds. The focal point of the Demesne is the impressive Newbridge House. #newbridge #donabate #newbridgehouse #conservation #conservationmatters #fingal #history #heritage #ireland #tourism #heritageconservation @DarraghOBrienTD @DeptHousingIRL @Failte_Ireland @AnnMarieFingal @robertburns73 @NewbridgeHF @AdrianHenchy @MayorofFingal @FingalHeritage @HeritageHubIRE @LoveFingalDub
