Sa bhliain 1768 cheannaigh Robert Gregory timpeall 600 acra tal\u00fan sa Ch\u00fal nuair a d\u2019fhill s\u00e9 go h\u00c9irinn tar \u00e9is seirbh\u00edse leis an East India Company. Choinnigh muintir Gregory an talamh go dt\u00ed 1927 nuair a d\u00edoladh le St\u00e1t \u00c9ireann \u00e9. Bh\u00ed an Bhantiarna Gregory ina c\u00f3na\u00ed ann ag an am, ar fearr aithne uirthi mar dhr\u00e1mad\u00f3ir, b\u00e9aloideas\u00f3ir agus comhbhunaitheoir Amharclann na Mainistreach le W.B. Yeats agus Edward Martyn.<\/p>\n
Sa Ch\u00fail th\u00f3g an ch\u00e9ad Robert Gregory teach, chuir s\u00e9 balla\u00ed timpeall ar a east\u00e1t agus chuir s\u00e9 t\u00fas le plandlann crann a ndearna Arthur Young cur s\u00edos air in A Tour of Ireland (1780) mar \u201ca very noble nursery, from which he is making plantations, which will soon be a great ornament to the country\u201d. Lean gl\u00fain i ndiaidh a ch\u00e9ile de mhuintir Gregory ag cur crann \u00f3 gach cearn den domhan agus d\u2019\u00e9irigh go maith leo. Fuarthas n\u00edos m\u00f3 tal\u00fan le linn an 19\u00fa haois agus faoi na 1850id\u00ed bh\u00ed thart ar 15,000 acra san ioml\u00e1n ann Rinneadh Leas-R\u00fana\u00ed na h\u00c9ireann de William, duine de chlann mhac Robert, in 1812 agus rugadh a gharmhac, William Henry ina \u00e1it ch\u00f3naithe i bP\u00e1irc an Fhionnuisce, Baile \u00c1tha Cliath sa bhliain 1816. Th\u00e1inig an Liam seo in oidhreacht an Ch\u00fail sa bhliain 1847 nuair a fuair a athair (Roibeard eile) b\u00e1s de bharr fiabhras an ghorta. Bh\u00ed s\u00e9 ina Ghobharn\u00f3ir ar Ceylon n\u00edos d\u00e9ana\u00ed agus fuair s\u00e9 ridireacht. Sna 1850id\u00ed chuir s\u00e9 leis na baili\u00fach\u00e1in crann sa Ch\u00fal tr\u00ed garr\u00e1n gi\u00faise de bhuairc\u00edneacha coimhth\u00edocha \u00f3 Chr\u00edocha Mheirice\u00e1 a chur ann. Cr\u00edochna\u00edodh \u00e9 in 1856, fuair go leor b\u00e1s ar an ithir aolchloiche ach th\u00e1inig cuid acu sl\u00e1n agus d\u2019fh\u00e1s siad go maith agus t\u00e1 siad le feice\u00e1il f\u00f3s inniu.<\/p>\n
Sa bhliain 1880 ph\u00f3s an Ridire William, a bh\u00ed 63 bliain d’aois ag an am, Isabella Augusta Persse a bh\u00ed 28 bliain d’aois. Rugadh mac amh\u00e1in Robert sa bhliain 1881. Tar \u00e9is bh\u00e1s an Ridire William sa bhliain 1892, chaith an Bhantiarna Gregory go leor d\u00e1 cuid ama ag scr\u00edobh. Bh\u00ed s\u00ed ar dhuine de na pearsana ba th\u00e1bhachta\u00ed in Athbheochan Liteartha na h\u00c9ireann go luath san 20\u00fa haois, go h\u00e1irithe mar gheall ar an mbealach a d\u2019athraigh s\u00ed an Ch\u00fail ina l\u00e1rphointe d\u00f3ibh si\u00fad a mh\u00fanlaigh an ghluaiseacht sin, rud a d\u2019fh\u00e1g gur \u00e1it \u00ed a bhfillfid\u00eds ar\u00eds agus ar\u00eds eile chun labhairt, chun plean\u00e1il a dh\u00e9anamh, agus chun spreagadh a fh\u00e1il.<\/p>\n
Fuair an Bhantiarna Gregory b\u00e1s an 22 Bealtaine 1932. Is f\u00e9idir taith\u00ed a fh\u00e1il f\u00f3s ar dhra\u00edocht na C\u00faile, a spreag an oiread sin daoine, c\u00e9 nach bhfuil an teach ann a thuilleadh. Maireann a oidhreacht scr\u00edbhinn\u00ed agus pland\u00e1la crann, a ndearna Sean O\u2019Casey cur s\u00edos orthu mar \u201cher chief charmers, the one nearest her mind, the other nearest her heart\u201d.<\/p>\n
T\u00e1 gr\u00e1 na Bantiarna Gregory don Ch\u00fail agus d\u00e1 \u2018Seven Woods\u2019, a bhfuil a gcuimhne buanaithe ag Yeats, soil\u00e9ir ina scr\u00edbhinn\u00ed agus i scr\u00edbhinn\u00ed a cuid a\u00edonna liteartha.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese woods have been well loved, well-tended by some who came before me, and my affection has been no less than theirs. The generations of trees have been my care, my comforters. Their companionship has often brought me peace.\u201d An Bhantiarna Gregory, An Ch\u00fail, 1931<\/h4>\n
Bh\u00ed s\u00ed ar dhuine de na pearsana ba th\u00e1bhachta\u00ed in Athbheochan Liteartha na h\u00c9ireann go luath san 20\u00fa haois, go h\u00e1irithe mar gheall ar an mbealach a d\u2019athraigh s\u00ed an Ch\u00fail ina l\u00e1rphointe d\u00f3ibh si\u00fad a mh\u00fanlaigh an ghluaiseacht sin, rud a d\u2019fh\u00e1g gur \u00e1it \u00ed a bhfillfid\u00eds ar\u00eds agus ar\u00eds eile chun labhairt, chun plean\u00e1il a dh\u00e9anamh, agus chun inspior\u00e1id a fh\u00e1il.<\/p>\n
Ach bh\u00ed na coillte agus na lochanna sa Ch\u00fail n\u00edos saibhre n\u00e1 mar a cheap Yeats. Bh\u00ed cogair de shinsearacht n\u00edos \u00e1rsa ag na \u2018Seacht gCoill\u2019, a chuir an oiread sin dra\u00edochta ar an mBantiarna Gregory agus ar a ha\u00edonna, nach raibh na cuairteoir\u00ed liteartha ar an eolas f\u00fathu: iarsma\u00ed an chl\u00fadaigh n\u00e1d\u00fartha foraoise n\u00edos luaithe, agus an loch agus an abhainn a bh\u00ed ag imeacht mar chuid den choimpl\u00e9asc turlaigh is fearr (F\u00e9ach D\u00falra & Fiadh\u00falra) n\u00ed hamh\u00e1in in \u00c9irinn ach ar fud an domhain ar fad.<\/p>\n
\u00d3 cheannaigh St\u00e1t \u00c9ireann P\u00e1irc na C\u00faile sa bhliain 1927 go dt\u00ed 1987, bh\u00ed an tSeirbh\u00eds Foraoiseachta \u00e1 bhainisti\u00fa. San am sin, fuarthas Coill Ghareal\u00e1in in aice l\u00e1imhe. Cuireadh an chuid is m\u00f3 den talamh, go ginear\u00e1lta le speicis crann coimhth\u00edoch a d\u2019fh\u00e1s go tapa. Leagadh \u201cteach m\u00f3r\u201d na C\u00faile sa bhliain 1941. Ag deireadh na 1960id\u00ed, oscla\u00edodh an Ch\u00fail don phobal mar \u00e1is thaitneamhachta.<\/p>\n
\u00d3 1987 i leith, t\u00e1 Anaclann D\u00falra na C\u00faile-Ghareal\u00e1in \u00e1 bainisti\u00fa le haghaidh caomhn\u00fa fiadh\u00falra agus mar \u00e1is phoibl\u00ed ag an tSeirbh\u00eds P\u00e1irceanna N\u00e1isi\u00fanta agus Fiadh\u00falra (NPWS). Le linn an ama seo, rinneadh athch\u00f3iri\u00fa ar sheanst\u00e1bla\u00ed agus tithe lasmuigh East\u00e1t an Ch\u00fail agus aistr\u00edodh iad go dt\u00ed Ionad Cuairteoir\u00ed le seomra\u00ed tae (oscla\u00edodh i 1992).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
