Wicklow (Hotels, Wicklow, Ireland) Family History Centre, Wicklow’s Historic Gaol, Kilmantin Hill, Wicklow, County Wicklow

The Wicklow Heritage Centre provides a genealogical research service for people of County Wicklow (Accommodation, Wicklow, Ireland) ancestry. Much of the county’s baptism, marriage and burial resources has been indexed and is available on a computer database.

The prehistoric antiquities of the province are numerous and important, including the great cham- bered tumuli of the Boyne Valley, and the Hill of Tara. The remains of cathedrals, churches, castles, and the ruins of early monastic settlements like that at Glendalough, Co. Wicklow, would demand a volume to themselves if they were adequately to be described. All that it is possible to do in the space at our disposal, is briefly to call attention to the principal monuments.

Forts of different types are numerous in East Leinster ; it is impossible to do more than mention a few. One of the most interesting is the stone-built cuthair at Rathgall, Co. Wicklow (Accommodation, Wicklow, Ireland). This remarkable fort, situated 3 miles east of Tullow, consists of four roughly circular lines of defence, the outer rampart which covers an extent of about eighteen acres, consists of earth, faced with fairly large stones. The innermost ring or citadel is a dry- built wall of stone with a diameter of about 150 ft. ; the second rampart, also of stone, is from 30 to 50 paces from the first; the third rampart, also of stone, is some 10 ft. from the second, with a shallow ditch between them

Glendalough (the valley of the two lakes), a picturesque glen in Co. Wicklow (Holiday Homes, Wicklow, Ireland), contains a group of interesting early ecclesiastical remains. The monastic settlement of Glen- dalough owes its foundation to St Kevin (Coemghen) who was buried here in a.d. 617. The settlement grew in importance and eventually became a diocesan see and a cathedral city. St Laurence OToole (Lorcan O Tuathail), afterwards archbishop of Dublin, was abbot of Gliendalough at the time of his elevation to the episcopate. The diocese of Glendalough was united with that of Dublin in A.D. 1214. The most prominent feature of the ruins is the round tower, which stands 103 ft. high with an internal dia- meter of 8 ft. 10 ins. ; it is built of mica slate and granite. The doorway is round-headed with inclined jambs, the sill being 11 1/2 ft. above the ground. The roof, which had fallen many years ago, has been rebuilt with the original stones. The largest and most imposing building is the cathedral, which, with the round tower, occupies the most central and important site in the valley. The cathedral is about 50 yards from the round tower. Dedicated to St Peter and St Paul, it was used as a cathedral church until 1214 when the diocese was united to that of Dublin. A parallelogram in plan, it consists of a nave, and of a chancel with a small sacristy attached to the south side. The most interesting features of the building arc the round-headed east window and chancel arch. The north doorway is somewhat later in date than these.

The name for County Wicklow (Holiday Apartments, Wicklow, Ireland) came from the Old Norse, Vykinglo, when it was settled by the Viking colonists. While most of the low country in Wicklow was vulnerable and fell to the foreign invaders, the high country served as a good safe haven for the indigenous Celts to survive.

It was Wicklows Dermot McMurrough, Gaelic King of Leinster that emplored the Normans for assistance in driving the Vikings from his territory. This was the event that propogated the eventual Norman takeover of Ireland.

Co. Wicklow

Wicklow (Holiday Cottages, Wicklow, Ireland) is essentially a mountain area, containing a larger proportion of elevated land than any other county in Ireland, 26 per cent. of the area being above 1000 ft. With the foothills which flank them, they fill practically the whole county, and on their eastern side in particular, they include very beautiful scenery-deep mountain gorges such as Glenmalur, softer valley land- scapes as in the Vale of Ovoca, lovely lakes like Lough Dan, great precipices as on Lugnaquilla. On the inland slope the Liffey and the Slaney rise, the former flowing northward and eastward across Co. Dublin, the latter southward across Co. Wexford. Half the coast-line is occupied by the great gravel beach called the Mill-rough of Wicklow.

The lowland parts of the county are highly tilled and well populated, but towns of any size are. few. Wicklow, the assize town has a small harbour, as has also Arklow further south, and Bray further north. Bray is a favourite seaside, resort, and its large population is in considerable measure, due to its proximity to Dublin. The largest inland town is Baltinglass on the western side of the county.
