Hidden story

The Lynch window

A mayor is said to have hanged his own son.

Read the storyClose

A stone window in Market Street carries a plaque about James Lynch FitzStephen, mayor of Galway, who in 1493, the story says, condemned his own son for murder and, when no one else would do it, hanged him from the window himself. Some say this is where the word 'lynch' comes from, though historians doubt it.
