Cesca Trench Plauque Unveiling and Film Presentation
A plaque is to be unveiled at the Liverpool birthplace of one of the most acclaimed Irish artists of the 20th century. Cesca Trench (1891-1916) was born at St Johns Church of England vicarage, Green Lane, Tuebrook, where her Dublin-born father was vicar. Her grand nephew, Anthony Fletcher (a writer and historian) is traveling from Oxford to unveil the plaque at 2pm on Saturday 24 May. The unveiling will be followed by a screening of the RTE documentary film about the artist 'Cesca's Diary' at the St Micheal's Irish Centre. Cesca's work can be seen in the National Gallery of Ireland and the National Museum of Ireland. The Liverpool branch of the Gaelic League is organising these events.
