  • 1. Arthur Guinness Statue Celbridge
    Arthur Guinness was an Irish brewer and the founder of the Guinness brewery business and family. He was also an entrepreneur and philanthropist. At 27, in 1752, Guinness's godfather Arthur Price, the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Cashel, bequeathed him £100 in his will. Guinness invested the money and in 1755 had a brewery at Leixlip, just 17 km from Dublin. In 1759, Guinness went to the city and set up his own business. He took a 9,000-year lease on the 4-acre brewery at St. James's Gate from the descendants of Sir Mark Rainsford for an annual rent of £45. Guinness's flowery red signature is still copied on every label of bottled Guinness.
