What is recorded here

Johnstown Castle in County Wexford wears a Gothic Revival body built between 1836 and 1872 around the bones of a late 12th-century Norman tower house. The land has absorbed more than pride: Cromwell camped there before the October 1649 Sack of Wexford, Cornelius Grogan lost his life for the 1798 Rebellion, and airships flew from the estate during the First World War. It is a place where beauty keeps a knife behind its smile.
