What is recorded here
James Craig, 1st Viscount Craigavon is a birthplace in Belfast, County Antrim, Ireland. Perhaps the house walls still hold the breath of a boy who would reshape northern politics. Maybe his footsteps pressed grooves into the floorboards before he left for Westminster. Imagine the chamber where he first drew breath, crowded with whispers about the power he would seize.
Why this person is known: British politician (1871-1940)
