PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A SAMPLE OF THE TYPE OF COURSE OFFERED PREVIOUSLY AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED IN 2013 The Irish ‘Big House’ has a long-established history, made familiar by the fiction of Sommerville and Ross, Elizabeth Bowen and others. The Big House was a tribute to the Anglo-Irish ascendancy, and many of these homes were destroyed during the Irish Civil War. Ireland's golden age of Palladianism saw the construction of magnificent homes such as Castletown in Co. Kildare and Strokestown Park, Co. Roscommon, later followed by a return to the gothic style such as Castle Ward, Co. Down and Glin Castle, Co. Limerick.

By mid-century, the Victorian Age ruled, and we find the grand style epitomised by Kylemore Abbey, Co.
