Lecture by Dr Finbar McCormick on Mausolea & Memorials

The Follies Trust 2019 events began with a lecture by Dr Finbar McCormick on Mausolea & Memorials to the dead in Ireland on 13 March at 7.30pm. His talk looked at the history and development of memorials to the dead in Ireland and beyond.

Finbar’s lecture was linked with our next project – conservation of the Murland mausoleum located in the graveyard of Clough Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church, County Down, where the lecture took place. The Follies Trust raised funds to conserve the magnificent Murland mausoleum over the summer.
