===Brewery=== After Richard Guinness married Elizabeth Read (1698β1742), of a brewing family from [[Bishopscourt, County Kildare|Bishopscourt]] and an aunt of [[Arthur Guinness]], he took over the town brewery in 1722 and moved it from the site of the Village Inn to where the entrance forecourt of the Holy Faith convent is today<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kildare.ie/library/ehistory/2009/09/some_key_dates_in_celbridge_hi.asp|title=Co.

In 1752, Dr Price's estate bequeathed Β£100 to Richard's son, the 27-year-old Arthur Guinness to help him expand the brewery, first in 1755 on a new site in [[Leixlip]] and from 1759 in [[Guinness Brewery|St James's Gate]] in [[Dublin]].<ref>Patrick Guinness; ''Arthur's Round: The Life and Times of brewing legend Arthur Guinness''.
