This memorial commemorates John Mandeville, a native of Mitchelstown and a leader in the Land League wars of the 1880s, who died in 1888 having spent two months in Tullamore Jail.

This statue exhibits fine craftsmanship and the monument has a strong presence due its setting in New Market Square and facing the town's main thoroughfare.
