Appraisal

A monument erected by Michael Timoney [Michéal Ó Tiomanaidhe] (1853-1940) as a testimony to Reverend Andrew [James] Conroy PP (d. 1798), 'executed at Castlebar on charges of aiding the French following the Rising of 1798' (ITA 1942), representing an interesting component of the twentieth-century commemorative architectural heritage of County Mayo.
