Hear how Arthur Guinness, who came from humble beginnings in Co. Kildare became one of the most successful brewers in the world and started a legacy that is still in existence to this day.

Hear the fascinating story of Arthur’s descendant and grandson of Walter Guinness, Desmond’s early life and how in later years he worked tirelessly towards the preservation of Georgian Irish architecture.

And how Edward Cecil Guinness’ nephew Kenelm Lee Guinness set a land speed record in 1922, and used his engineering knowledge to help the British Army’s war effort during the First World War.
