Not the norm for the artist, three leading local Newry figures are seen enclosed In St Colemans Hall Newry (one of the 3 medieval Abbots houses
of Newry abbey). In the quest for an English Castle, a fake one now does the job, the artist states this is the building where Bagenal may have had
his Castle,not a word of evidence though. It is one of 3 Abbots houses that were
part of Newrys midieval abbey. This was the master Abbots house. 6 Abbots are
seen hanging inside the building through the windows.The artist states Bagenal
hung them all eventually. Two of the most famous Creily or Crilly, Shields or
Shiel, These would be two of the unfortunates who were dug up by Newry and Mourne
when they dug 33 remains up in 2006. |
Feeding In the West. Just a picture about the wind, painted around about 2003 |
