Dr. Jonathan Cherry is Deputy Head of the School of History and Geography, Dublin City University. His research interests lie in the evolution and transformation of the Irish landscape over the past four centuries. His research examines the influence of the State and landowning elite - both private families and institutions - on both rural and urban landscapes; the demise of this elite and their legacy in the form of planned towns and villages, 'big houses' and demesne landscapes during the period.
Dr. Cherry's talk will include, amongst others, Bellamont House, Cabra Castle, and Castle Saunderson.
