St. Patrick Statue at The Octagon, Westport
Highlight • Monument
George was involved in banking and was appointed agent for the Bank of Ireland in 1826. He was also an agent for the Browne family of Westport House. George was a very successful entrepreneur and was credited with some of the early developments of Westport. He was held in very high regard in the town as a result, and shortly after he died in 1843 the people of Westport erected a statue of him on top of an octagon-shaped podium. The Clendining Coat of Arms adorned the statue along with the inscription "To the memory of George Clendining".
The statue was damaged and as a result, Westport UDC removed it along with the inscription. This was in 1943.
In 1990, Westport UDC erected a statue of St. Patrick on the plinth with panels depicting scenes from the life of our patron saint.
