✨Conservation Project Highlights 2024✨ A roofing project is a major undertaking and delivering this at a heritage property like @fotahouse this year was the result of great collaboration with JCA Architects and Summerhill Construction. 👏 #HeritageConservation #BuiltHeritage

These cold days remind us of this important feature at our heritage houses. The fireplace. Keeping the flames was a labour intensive role for housemaids whose daily routine began well before dawn. Johnstown Castle Estate, Museum & Gardens had 40+ fireplaces and burned 40 tonnes of coal per week! 1/2

On #IWD, we remember the women whose labour and lives helped sustain Ireland’s historic estates. Their names may not be written in the history books, but their legacy lingers in the walls of the magnificent houses where they worked. We celebrate the women at the 💜 of HERitage
