Week 8 - The Dungarvan Coat Of Arms

Grattan Square Heritage Plaque Series โ€“ The Dungarvan Coat of Arms

Plaque Location: At Your Leisure Amusements, 9 Grattan Square, Dungarvan, Co.Waterford

As part of our Grattan Square Heritage Plaque Series, this week we are highlighting the plaque featuring the Dungarvan Coat of Arms.
In the nineteenth century the original medieval seal and charter of Dungarvan had been lost. When the Town Commissioners became a corporate body in the 1860s they required a new official seal and coat of arms. After an unsuccessful search for the original, a new design was created in 1863 by the antiquarian and local resident William Williams.
The coat of arms features images of Abbeyside Castle and Dungarvan Castle with a ship sailing into the harbour, reflecting the townโ€™s maritime heritage. The crest includes an anchor and dolphin, while the Irish motto โ€œNรญ Maraidhe go Stiรบrthรณirโ€ roughly translates as โ€œNot a mariner until a steersmanโ€.

Williams (1820โ€“1875) was an antiquarian, Irish language supporter and manuscript collector who lived in Devonshire Square (now Grattan Square). He was also an early researcher of ogham stones and Irish antiquities.

Next time you are passing through the square, take a moment to look out for the plaque and reflect on the symbols that represent Dungarvanโ€™s history and identity.

What is the image on the plaque?

The volunteer run Grattan Square Heritage Plaque Project was managed by Willie Whelan for Waterford County Museum. Rachael Power drew the illustrations and William Fraher did much of the original historical research.
