Nov. 22, 2017: Join us in the Bronxville Public Library for a lecture on Monday, November 27, at 5:30 pm about Crom Castle, a home in Northern Ireland designed in Tudor Revival style, featuring beautiful Gothic Revival archways and stained glass.
Hailed as a hidden gem above the shimmering waters of Lough Erne, Northern Ireland, the present Crom Castle was built by John Crichton, 3rd Earl Erne, in the 1830s and is still owned and occupied by the Crichton family.
John Crichton, the 7th Earl, inherited the house and title upon the death of his father, Henry Crichton, 6th Earl Erne, who had a long history with the royal family.
Lord Erne will speak about his family home, the challenges of maintaining such a property, and his plans for its future.

Bronxville Public Library
The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.
The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.
The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
