Big Houses and the Revolutionary Period

Information is furnished below on Galway County’s big houses and their experiences of the revolutionary period, 1916–1923. These houses lay at the heart of the landed estates, which became a distinctive feature of Ireland’s cultural landscape during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Readers can find out more about the everyday lives of those who resided in the big houses and how they were affected by the Easter Rising, War of Independence and Civil War. The resources and links provided include materials from local histories and newspaper articles, as well as family papers, letters, photographs, and military records from a variety of archival and contemporary sources.
