This podcast captures a moment of discovery when a treasure trove of old family letters dating back to the late 18th century, military uniforms and swords from the same period, old books, paintings and photographs is discovered.

The records were very recently found in a trunk in one of the attic rooms at Drummin House, Carbury, Co. Kildare.  

The voices you will hear are those of Simon Wheeler, nephew of the late Grattan de Courcy Wheeler; Jim Pender and Eugene Finnegan, both of whom gave long service to the de Courcy Wheeler family of Drummin; Kevin Murphy, Karol Kiely and James Dorney of Local Studies at Kildare Co. Library.
