Tours Of Historic Church<br />
Edward Arthur Guinness (1840-1915), later<br />
known as Lord Ardilaun and the greatgrandson<br />
of the founder of Guinness’ Brewery<br />
founded the church. It was designed by the<br />
architect George C. Ashlin and has some<br />
wonderful architectural features notably the<br />
perfect symmetry of the overall design, the<br />
Cumberland roofing slates, granite walls with<br />
limestone dressings and the ornamental<br />
architraves of the doors. The materials for the<br />
building were mainly sourced in Ireland and it<br />
is described as ‘early English’ with a cruciform<br />
shape. The stained glass windows are of note. It<br />
was formerly situated on the northern edge of<br />
the estate of Lord Ardilaun the bulk of which is<br />
now St. Anne’s Park. Guided tours of the local<br />
church founded by Lord Ardilaun and<br />
designed by George C Ashlin at 15:00, 16:00<br />

Letters, Lives<br />
& Liberty<br />
at the An Post Museum<br />
Housed in a purpose-designed space just off the GPO’s busy Public<br />
Office, Letters, Lives and Liberty introduces the story of the Post<br />
Office and how it has helped to shape the development of modern<br />
Ireland. Visitors can read and think about the words printed on the<br />
1916 Proclamation, one of only a few surviving original documents,<br />
and post a card in the Ashworth box, the unique post box<br />
introduced to Ireland by the novelist Anthony Trollope.<br />
Modest in scale, the museum makes use of the latest digital<br />
technology, as well as traditional displays, in order to cover various<br />
aspects of the Post Office story – from the eye-witness accounts of<br />
postal staff on Easter Monday 1916 to the operation of the<br />
Travelling Post Office and from the complexities of stamp design<br />
to the architectural beauty of the GPO itself.<br />
General Post Office, O’Connell Street, <strong>Dublin</strong> 1. Monday – Friday: 10am to 5pm, Saturday: 10am to 4pm. Admission €2.<br />
