Mayo, County Mayo
Mayo or Mayo Abbey () is a village in County Mayo, Ireland. Although it bears the same name as the county, it is not the county seat, which is Castlebar. Mayo Abbey is a small historic village in south Mayo approximately 16 km to the south of Castlebar and 10 km north west of Claremorris.
==History==
The village was an important centre in the Gaelic and Anglo-Saxon Christian world in the seventh and eighth centuries. St. Colmán, Bishop of Lindisfarne, founded a monastery here for a group of Saxon monks, Saint Gerald becoming the first abbot in 670. Danish raiders attacked the monastery in 783 and again in 805.〔The Heritage of Mayo by Áine Ní Cheanáinn 3rd edition 1988, page 94〕 Finally Turgesius completely destroyed it in 818 〔
The village was the centre of the diocese of Mayo from 1152. It was suppressed in the thirteenth century.〔(Catholic Archdiocese of Tuam history site )〕 Bishops were appointed, however, as late as
the sixteenth century.〔 One of its bishops, Patrick O'Hely, who died in 1589, is numbered among the Irish martyr saints.〔 The diocese was formally joined to Tuam by papal decree in 1631.〔
