“Williamstown House & Townland – A History” by Dr. Liam McNiffe

The first house in Kells to have electricity, the 18th century Williamstown House was originally the home of the Cuffe family. The house has been empty since the 1970s and is slowly decaying into a ruin.

Dr. McNiffe takes us through a fascinating history of the house, families who lived there, and the townlands surrounding it.

About the Speaker: Dr. Liam McNiffe, Author and Historian, has published a book called “A History of Williamstown, Kells” which is available in paperback. He has recently retired as the principal of St. Patrick’s College, Cavan.
