Black Gladstone memorial on Moy castle wall
A Moy castle front bears a tarred head of Mr Gladstone. The tale recalls Earl Charlemont’s eviction of tenants for land expansion and Gladstone’s 1881 land act anger, leading to the landlord covering the statue with tar as revenge. The piece cites the incident as a relic of shortsighted landlordism.
