EVENT DESCRIPTION


To celebrate Heritage Week, Killruddery is honoured to welcome Peter Pearson - celebrated historian, conservationist and artist - for a special talk introduced by Lord Meath and hosted by the Killruddery House Guides.


A passionate advocate for Ireland's architectural heritage, Peter Pearson has dedicated his life to documenting, painting and preserving historic buildings and streetscapes. His early work Dún Laoghaire: Kingstown marked the beginning of a prolific career in both conservation and publishing. He is also the founder of the Dublin Civic Trust and a noted collector of architectural fragments.


This is a unique opportunity to hear from one of Ireland's foremost voices on built heritage - an afternoon of stories, insights and reflections on our shared architectural past.
