Next talk on Julian Walton’s Autumn Lecture Series will be with Guest Speaker Paul Brent. The subject of this talk is “The Great Frost 1740 -1741”.
“Climate Change is something we hear a lot about. Previous to 1740 we had a run of relatively mild winters, so this season was a huge surprise out of nowhere for people in Ireland and all across Europe.
Known as the ‘Great Frost’, what made the change in weather patterns?
What happened to the population?
Why did this story become part of our hidden Irish history?”
