Well-known Wicklow heritage sites, including the Weir Wall (on the Russborough estate beside the N81), St Matthews Church, Newtownmountkennedy, and Greenan More Farmstead, Rathdrum, have been awarded funding to conserve notable historic structures under the Historic Structures Fund for 2022.
The sites have been awarded funding for diverse reasons including repair and stabilising of Russborough Weir Wall, masonry repair, joinery repair, roof re-construction and re-instatement of corrugated iron.
A total of €4 million was awarded nationwide through the Historic Structures Fund, administered by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage in partnership with the 31 Local Authorities.
In addition to supporting owners and custodians of historic and protected structures to safeguard and maintain their properties, this funding will also provide a welcome boost to conservation professionals and tradespeople, including in specialist heritage roles such as thatching and stone work.
