CHAS talk on Tullow through the centuries

RETIRED school principal and local historian Christopher McQuinn is the guest speaker at Carlow Historical and Archaeological Society’s (CHAS) next public talk.

Christopher, who was at the helm of Tullow Community School until his retirement some 20 years ago, has written a book about the town called Tullow through the ages. The book is scheduled to hit the shelves in September.

At the CHAS talk, Christopher will delve through the centuries and explore Tullow’s origins and how it has morphed through the ages to be the town it is today. He’ll look at the Famine years as well as military and political conflict, along with commercial life, sport, performing arts and the infrastructure of public and voluntary services. The CHAS talk will take place in St Columba’s Church, Church Street, Tullow on Wednesday 21 May at 8pm. All are welcome to attend.
