Edenbrook

The Banbridge area can also lay claim to some important personages: literary, artistic and scientific. It was here that world-renowned artist F E McWilliam was born, the poet W B Yeats’ father was born and Patrick Bronte, father of the talented Bronte sisters, was born. Nobel Physics Laureate, Professor E T S Walton received his early schooling in Banbridge and the famous Arctic explorer, Captain F R M Crozier, was also born – a delightful statue, replete with polar bears, proudly commemorating the man!
