Heritage, History and Literature will be intertwined at this year’s Wm Trevor / Eliz Bowen Literary Festival when Eoghan Harris officially opens the 6th annual weekend of literary activity on Friday 20th July. Outside of the opening ceremony and talk by Tom McCarthy, who has chosen “ Bowen, De Valera and the Neutrality of the Dead” as his topic, all the other events over the weekend will be held in buildings, some of whose origins date back to the 12th Century.
Kingston College was built in the late 18th Century, originally to provide accommodation to the less well-off members of the Church of Ireland community. Its chapel will host readings by members of our local creative writing group earlier on Friday afternoon.
