in Ireland; Sir Richard Nagle of Clogher was Solicitor General for Ireland under James II and was one of the most influential members of the "Patriot Parliament" of 1689. Also descended from the Nagle family was Nano Nagle, foundress of the presentation Convent Order, from whom some people of Shanballymore received their education in nearby Doneraile. One part of the Nagle Castle, no longer to be seen, is a Sheela na gig which was found built into the wall and later destroyed. Sheela na gig reliefs, often carved in stone and set into castle and church walls to "ward off evil", take the form of figurative carvings of naked women displaying an exaggerated vulva. Legend has it that Garret Nagle of Ballinamona was in London for the coronation of King George IV, when his workmen found the carving in the castle. Being upset by the lewd figure, they broke it. They reputedly also broke the 'luck', as shortly afterwards Nagle had to sell the castle and lands to cover his debts.
