The Entrance Hall at Rathfarnham Castle features painted & stained-glass windows including this panel with laurel surrounds enclosing a trident with stylised dolphins either side. The window may commemorate a member of the family who was involved in an expedition at sea.
From the Parliamentary Gazetteer (1846): 'The Great Hall is entered from a terrace, by a portico of 8 Doric columns...the room is ornamented with antique & ancient busts placed on handsome pedestals of variegated marbles; & has 3 windows of stained glass,...' Image: C. Brogan

In the late 1990s samples were taken from the original oak timbers in the roof to ascertain their age. Of the samples taken, all the trees were felled in 1583 approx. & it's likely that the trees grew locally. Image: D. Davison @HeritageIreOPW @RathfarnhamHS @pearsemuseumOPW
