A Celebration of Irish Women inĀ England
In Ireland, 1st February is St Brigid's Day, honouring St Brigid of Kildare and marking the beginning of spring. The holiday is also used to celebrate Irish women. Here, author of Irish Emigration to England Explored through Buildings, Samantha Lyster, discusses the impact Irish women had on English architecture. St Patrickās Day is a fixture in the British calendar, but thereās another Irish patron saint that rarely makes the news here.
