The Miller mausoleum
St Brigid's graveyard, Portumna
Dolores O'Shea
The Miller vault in St. Brigid’s Graveyard Portumna, Co. Galway is one of the many interesting architectural features to be seen on a walk around the town. With its vermiculated decoration it is quite unique in the town according to Christy Cunniffe. Who were the Millers that are commemorated here and where did they live because there are no longer any Millers in the town?
Well, look no more – the recently digitally released Folklore Commission stories for the Portumna area tell the origin of the Miller family in the area – a beautiful romantic story… or legend! Have a read here

That is true Mary. I am currently finding some very useful nuggets of information from the online duchas .ie site that is providing really interesting material on sites and places.
Fascinating, and imagine would be lost but for the bealoideas section!
