The Weaver’s House invite you to reflect on families, war and loss as, one hundred years on, we remember the Armistice of 1918. At the time of the First World War, the house was home to the O’Neil family. Three of the young men that lived there joined the Army and were posted to France in WW1.

Dating back to medieval times, The Weaver’s House is of significant historical importance. But the house has been home to many families over the centuries. At the time of the First World War, the house was home to the O’Neil family.
