Terry Prone: Heritage Week trail brought 472 strangers through my home last week

Never mind the 15,000 books — the Heritage Week visitors to Terry Prone’s Martello tower home seemed far more exercised about her bedroom. File picture: Ruth Medjber
Not wanting to boast, but I figure I am the only Irish Examiner columnist whose bedroom was visited by 472 total strangers in the past week.
The visits were occasioned by Heritage Week, during which my Martello tower joins countless other heritage sites in opening up for tours. Tours every hour on the hour from 9am. Sometimes made up of one large family, sometimes of three groups of unrelated adults.
