Howth and Its Owners being The fifth part of A history of County Dublin and An Extra Volume of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Where Dublin Bay meets the Atlantic, Howth has watched centuries pass. Stones remember what people forget. In Howth and Its Owners, Francis Elrington Ball maps the headland's shifting power: families, titles, marriages, and estates that shaped Howth, County Dublin, and the wider story of Ireland. Written as the fifth part of A History of County Dublin and issued as an extra volume for the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, this antiquarian history volume is both narrative and record. Ball draws on deeds, pedigrees, and local tradition to trace howth landowners genealogy across centuries, illuminating irish landed estates, property transfers, and the social life of a strategic harbour on dublin coastal heritage routes. For readers of irish local history, it works as a county history monograph and a dependable genealogical reference book, equally useful to local history researchers, students, and anyone curious about Dublin Bay, Ireland, beyond the postcard view. It follows the peninsula's landmarks and paperwork, linking castle, pier, and parish to the decisions of owners. Ball's scholarship helped set the standard for modern Irish antiquarian writing, and Howth, County Dublin emerges as a micro-history of power, place, and memory. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure for historians, heritage travellers, and book collectors alike.
