Pre and Ancient hat

Hair/Animal Skin (Pre and Ancient) Hats have been around for a very long time. It is impossible to say when the first animal skin was pulled over a head as protection against the elements and although this was not a hat in the true sense, it was realized that covering your head could sometimes be an advantage. Also in these times hair was worn long. This was mainly due to not having the tools to cut it but it is also the bodys way of giving protection from the elements.

George Jarmolinski, aged 11.

Wimple

Wimple (Middle Ages) In the 12th Century the well dressed lady did not go about without some head covering and so the Wimple was developed. It was adopted by both modest and fashionable women. The most modest way to wear it was over the chin, completely concealing the hair whilst fashionable ladies would wear it under the chin and with some hair showing. Although less popular by the 14th Century, the Wimpole remained a common piece of female attire throughout the period. A veil could be attached to it if desired to make it more attractive. It was made from a variety of fabrics from fine linens to silks. For the poorer woman, thick wool was both a practical and warm option.

Abbie Kearns, aged 7.

Capotain (Modern times)

A capotain hat is a tall-crowned, narrowbrimmed hat, worn by men and women in England and northwestern Europe from the 1950s. The capotain is especially associated with the Puritan costume in England in the years leading up to the English Civil War and during the early years of the Commonwealth. It is also commonly called a Flat Topped Hat and a Pilgrim hat, the latter for its association with the Pilgrims that settled in the Plymouth Colony in the 1620s. Contrary to popular myth, capotains never included buckles on the front of them; this image was created in the 19th century.

Ilayda Karakaya, aged 6.

Bowler hat (19th Century)

The bowler hat is a hard felt hat with a rounded crown originally created in 1849 for the British soldier and politician Edward Coke, the younger brother of the 2nd Earl of Leicester. The bowler hat was popular with the working class during the Victorian era though it came to form the official work uniform of bankers. Later in the United Kingdom, it would come to be worn as work dress by the officers of the Queen's Guards.

Craig Gregory, aged 9.

Wedding Hats (20th/21st Century)

Hats have really evolved and since the early 21st century a new wave of competitive young milliners have been designing more and more flamboyant creations. Some new hat collections have been described as "wearable sculpture. Philip Treacy OBE is an award-winning Irish milliner whose hats have been commissioned by top designers and worn at royal weddings. 36 of Treacys hats were worn at the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton on 29 April 2011, including the hat worn by Princess Beatrice of York (above).

Ogham

Ogham (English pronunciation: oh-am) is an Early Medieval alphabet used primarily to write the Old Irish language, and occasionally the Brythonic language.[3] Ogham is sometimes called the "Celtic Tree Alphabet", based on a High Medieval Bratharogam tradition ascribing names of trees to the individual letters. There are roughly 400 surviving ogham inscriptions on stone monuments throughout Ireland and western Britain; the bulk of them are in the south of Ireland, in Counties Kerry, Cork and Waterford. Stephen John Lee, 5th Class, age 11.

The Book of Kells

The Book of Kells (Irish: Leabhar Cheanannais) (Dublin, Trinity College Library, MS A. I. (58), sometimes known as the Book of Columba) is an illuminated manuscript Gospel book in Latin, containing the four Gospels of the New Testament together with various prefatory texts and tables. It was created by Celtic monks ca. 800 or slightly earlier. The text of the Gospels is largely drawn from the Vulgate, although it also includes several passages drawn from the earlier versions of the Bible known as the Vetus Latina. It is a masterwork of Western calligraphy and represents the pinnacle of Insular illumination. It is also widely regarded as Ireland's finest national treasure. Shane Foley, 5th class, age 11.

Irish Uncial Alphabet

Latin Alphabet

Today Irish is usually written with a version of the Latin alphabet similar to the one used for Scottish Gaelic, though a spelling reform in 1957 eliminated some of the silent letters which are still used in Scottish Gaelic.The letters j (j), k (k), q (c), v (v), w (wae), x (ex), y (y) and z (zae) do not occur in native Irish words, but do appear in some English loanwords, for example jab (job) and veain (van).
