Known in 1700 as the Newry Bridge Hotel later renamed the Hunter's Hotel, earliest occupancy around 1668 was that of Darby the "Smith" and John Middleton. In the mid 1700's the proprietor was Mr Daty Rose succeeded by his son William by 1790 the proprietor was P Cole. By the early 1800's it was known as the Newrath Bridge Hotel and sometimes Nolan's Hotel when the lease was purchased by one William Nolan, he meeting his demise by drowning in the Vartry river. John Hunter was the butler for Charles Tottenham of the Ballycurry estate and his wife Catrherine was the Housekeeper, but in 1825 they obtained a lease on the hotel and stable yard and seven acres of garden from Henry Tighe, after the death of the above Mr Nolan. A travellers guide said * "We Strongly reccomend Mr Hunter's Inn at Newrath Bridge which is according to our experience, the most comfortable in the country" John and His wife had four children Robert, William died in infancy, George and Elizabeth who also died in infancy. But when the lease became available for the Woodenbridge Hotel in Avoca and with family he ran both hotels, his wife predeceased him in 1861 and John Died in 1869, Robert his son took over the Newrath Bridge Hotel, and George Hunter became the proprietor of the Woodenbridge Hotel and George went on to marry have six children, and his daughter Sarah ( Sally) succeeded her father to become the manager.The connection of Hunter was to remain attached to the Woodenbrige hotel until 1918 when Sarah surrendered her lease and emigrated to Canada with her Doctor husband and family..........anyone know what became of them in Canada I would love to know? Fanny Hunter married into the Gelletlie family thus the connection Brendon has mentioned. Sourced and hunted down by myself and himself and from reading many books in the library of Avoca, Arklow -Wicklow, and Dublin. We do not have access in Australia to these wonderful books written on Ireland so one must make full use of the libraries when in Ireland.

Morning Cara, Thank you for the lists of Slaters Directory and Snip snaps. Just to show how much I know about Irish Directories etc may I ask who or what is "Slaters Directories". Would I be correct in thinking that there might be editions covering other parts of Ireland similar to the GRIFFITH Valuations? I am moving the various sections on to my main hard disk but cannot find sections 6, 7, and 8. Where did I lose them. May I wish all a Holy and Happy Christmas and may all our Irish problems and walls come tumbling down in the New Year Regards Peter P.

Wow Cara, a bit of something there for everybody, brilliant and thank you for the effort. I loved the bit about the Yew especially, my most "favoritist" tree, a wood turners dream, with coloured streaks of reds, blues, purples, cream, straw and even orange, which are sadly lost over time when exposed. A deadly poisonous wood yet its Taxin being widely used in the treatment of cancer. The flesh of the berries is in fact nutritious but the seeds are deadly. THE BEAUTY OF YEW An ancient symbol of continuity A surviving tower of eternal green Reminder of life everlasting To heathens and Christians alike. The tree of a hundred hidden secrets, In true concealment of inner beauty, Sustainer and preserver of human life Yet also a vicious killer, Mother Kali in sylvan grace. The ancient provider of deadly artillery And deadly, evil toxins Yet its newly found taxin saving lives. Throughout its life an inert symbol But in death a soul revealed With heart of flaming colour Hardened purples, reds to orange, Evolved to gentle outer fawns, Hidden well beneath its shingled armour. And revealed only to its very slayer, The stains of a lifetime then bled away, And lost forever.

The Yew Tree in the graveyard .........the only bird that can eat the berry is the Thrush then he proceeds to spit it out landing on the headstones and pitting them esecially the white marbled stones but the trees remain read on and you will see why.......... The yew's reputation for long life is due to the unique way in which the tree grows. Its branches grow down into the ground to form new stems, which then rise up around the old central growth as separate but linked trunks. After a time, they cannot be distinguished from the original tree. So the yew has always been a symbol of death and rebirth In Irish mythology, the yew is one of the five sacred trees brought from the Otherworld at the division of the land into five parts. Known as the Tree of Ross, it was said to be the "offspring of the tree that is in Paradise", and it brought lasting plenty to Ireland. In the Brehon Laws, it is named as one of the Seven Chieftain Trees, with heavy penalties for felling one. Ownership of a yew-tree is the cause of a great battle in the twelfth century tale, "Yew Tree of the Disputing Sons". The tree's high status is also shown in an Irish tale from the Historical Cycle in which a swine herd dreamed he saw a yew tree upon a rock, with an oratory in front of it. Angels ascended and descended from a flagstone at the threshold. He told a druid who interpreted the dream to mean that the rock would be the seat of kings of Munster from that day forth, and the first king would be he who kindled a fire beneath the yew. Staves of yew were kept in pagan graveyards in Ireland where they were used for measuring corpses and graves. Yew was one of the nine sacred trees for kindling Beltane fires, and the old Scottish rhyme about the need-fire calls it 'the tree of resilience." Another famous Scottish yew stood at the Tobar an luthair, the Yew Tree Well in Easter Ross. Its presence lent healing qualities to the water, until someone cut the tree down. Whoever did the deed must have regretted it, for an old curse stated: Well of the Yew Tree, Well of the Yew Tree, To thee should honour be given; In Hell a bed is ready for him Who cuts the tree about thine ears. A similar fate awaited an individual at the church of St. Kevin of Glendalough, in County Wicklow, Ireland, who was cursed because, as a rhyme states: He cut down the Sacred Yew That holy Kevin planted. ©Cara_Links Researching Co.Wicklow,Wexford.

One of the earliest records of a school in Wicklow is in the Delgany vestry book In 1665 it is noted "pd ye schoolmr, for a quarter 7th December £1 5s 8d, the master was Richard Oard. These schools were esatablished as a result of an education act in 1570 who purpose was to anglicise and civilise the unruly Irish. Their main aim being to produce young people literate enough to understand the scriptures that prompted their establishment. Alongside these schools grew the tradition of the Hedge schools. The fact that education was forbidden to the Catholic, made them convinced that education was a desirable thing to have. The quality of the teachers varied some themselves were barely literate, while others who had trained for the priesthood in Europe. They were paid by the pupils and rarely stayed in one place very long to avoid being captured for running an illegal *hedge row* school. Wicklow County Gaol the building of this place began in 1702 and was completed with a few years, It has been recorded that it cost 2s 6d to supply candles and straw for a party of French Prisoners held within the Gaols walls, The earliest prisoner recorded was one Fr. Owen McFee a Popish priest aged 72 yrs who had been found guilty of saying mass in the county contrary to the law and had been sentenced to transportation to a British Colony in America 1716. Wicklow's first lifeboat station was built in 1857 February 1861 saw a storm of Cyclonic proportion inflict huge casualties on the shipping of the east coast of Ireland The parish church of St Kevin's Killaveny was built between 1841 and 1844 soon after Father Hore ( of the Father Hore Movement) arrived in the parish. Within his parish were two other Churches the Chapel at Crosspatrick ( townland of Bridgeland which was built in 1825 and the chapel at Annacurra The hotel called Woodenbridge on the way to Avoca is reputed to be the second oldest in Ireland Tinakilly house became the home of one of the most famous sons of Wicklow town Captain Robert Halpin whose "Great Eastern" laid the first translantic cable in 1865. Derrybawn house in Laragh was destroyed in 1798 and Inchanappa House now an Equestrian centre was listed as one of the possibles venues the Irish government should use in the "Emergency " of World War Two The Bel Air Hotel Ashford once belonged to Roger Casement. In Avoca and Rathdrum the RIC ( Royal Irish Contabulary ) police station was on the orders of Michael Collins shot up, a man who was to become a much respected legal international diplomat in Ireland , he also met his death in an ambush. Autumn of 1991 it was written More Irish food is eaten in Britain than in Ireland Irish eat more cornflakes than anyone else in the world. ©Cara_Links Researching Co.Wicklow,Wexford.

The cabins in which the peasantry lived 1606-1845 were to be described as hovels, the walls were a mixture of mud kneaded with straw and the roof was made of bogwood rafters raised from the top of the mud walls and covered with thatch, often made from potato stalks or turf sods. The walls were about, two feet thick and seven feet high. A small fire was lit in a grate in the middle of the what was usually the only room, and the family sat around the fire at night for warmth. These cabins had no chimneys , so the only way the smoke could escape was via the door, and sometimes the door was blocked up to keep out the wind and rain and it has been written that this is what caused the high level of blindness in the country. The cabins of the crofters and spalpeens ( landless labourers and travellers) were no more than long sticks placed against a bank in a slanting position, with the other side being build of clay. The roof once again being made with tree branches potato stalks, heath and straw and mud. These particular cabins were built no higher than the bank, so they were hidden from view from, until a person wandered too close. In 1838 the travel writer Henry Inglis noted that rents in Wicklow were intolerably high, and that the rents could not be paid by the produce of the land by either Catholic or Protestant peasantry. A labourer is he was lucky earnt 6d. per day, and the rent for the cabin was extracted before payment was made, so there was little more than 4½d per day left to support a wife and four children, potatoes in this time being 4d a stone. The Agricultural labourer paid his rent in labour and received no money for wage, he had a small plot of land attached to his cabin on which he grew potatoes for his family. And Life for someone with no land must have been impossible, these being the people who had to rely on another to be allowed to sublet a plot of ground. And the workhouse awaited for those who could not exist this way. What did they eat ? By 1600 the Irish diet had already undergone a major change, the milk and meat based tradition of Gaelic Ireland have overlapped with the Norma's taste for cereals. Cattle were by far the most important animal along with sheep and pigs being kept for food. Milk, butter-milk, cheese and curds were the staple foods, butter being heavily salted to be kept for winter. With the introduction of cereals particularly Oats, the problem of providing a variety of foods in the non dairy season was greatly reduced. Oats and wheat were made into bread and porridge, the foods being supplemented with what could be found in the natural elements such as fish, honey, berries, watercress, hazelnuts and game. Drinks were made from cereals and flavoured with honey and wild fruits. What caused the move towards the potato as the staple and indeed only food in many peoples diet was the scorched earth policies of Cromwellian Armies, many times before livestock had been slaughtered in the fields and corn burned, or cut down while it was still green, the potato was seen as a crop that would withstand this devastation, as it could remain below the soil until it was harvested. The high yield of this and high nutritional value of the potato made it and ideal choice for the poor tenant. This continued into the 18th Century until the potato became the staple and major food of the majority as whole in the country of Ireland. I don't have to enlighten you about the end result of this knowing you all know of the 1840's famine ordeal. ©Cara_Links Researching Co.Wicklow,Wexford.
