Preban Episode 7. The Enduring Graveyard
In this final episode of Stories from a Living Graveyard, we examine how this graveyard has remained central to the local community in recent decades, not just as a site of burial, but also as one of remembrance and commemoration. We also look to the graveyard's future, and ponder how others might draw inspiration from its story. Episode 7 of 7. This series is a co-production by Damian Shiels and Fin Dwyer of the Irish History Podcast. It was supported by the Preban Graveyard Committee, and co-funded by the Heritage Council and Wicklow County Council as part of Heritage Week 2020.

Preban Episode 2. History through the Ages
In this episode of Stories from a Living Graveyard, we explore the early medieval origins of Preban, and the tantilising glimpses the site provides us of an even earlier past. The graveyard showcases artistic expression across the millenia; among the stores we unpick are those of Ireland's prehistoric stone workers, and an exceptionally talented 18th century stonecutter. Episode 2 of 7. This series is a co-production by Damian Shiels and Fin Dwyer of the Irish History Podcast. It was supported by the Preban Graveyard Committee, and co-funded by the Heritage Council and Wicklow County Council as part of Heritage Week 2020.
