The Grey Abbey Conservation Project intends to publish on this website articles and images relating not only to the history of Grey Abbey but to the history of Kildare Town. Much of this material will be taken from primary sources such as the newspapers, census, directories etc. but will also include material from other histories of the town.
It is intended to publish an article every week and anybody who has material relating to the history of Kildare Town is welcome to contact us to add it to the site.
The first two articles are snippets taken from The Kildare Observer in 1882 on the courthouse and from The Leinster Leader of 1895 which reported on a Gaelic Football match played at Kildare between the Sons of St. Brigid (forerunners of the Round Towers) and Athgarvan.
