Joseph Mannion notes that in 1551 one Nicholas O Clowan, an official of Tuam, was granted custody of the Franciscan friary at Clonkeenkerrill, County Galway. A townland in the area, now called
Colmanstown
, was originally Baile Uí Chlúmháin. The poet Antoine Ó Raifteiri (1784–1835) died at the house of a Diarmaid Cloonan, beside Killeenen church and graveyard, where he was buried. This is situated on the north bank of Rahasane turlough, in the parish of Craughwell.
The gradual relaxation of the Penal Laws throughout the UK from 1778 culminated in the Relief Acts passed by the British Parliament Catholic Relief Act 1791 and the Irish Parliament in 1793. The eventual achievement of full Catholic Relief was secured during the administration of the Dublin born hero of the Napoleonic war, the Duke of Wellington. Signed into law by George IV, it proclaimed wide Catholic Emancipation in 1829. This followed a very effective Irish campaign by Daniel O'Connell, the Liberator. In the ensuing general Christian religious revival, it became possible for the reinstated Roman Catholic Church community to build a new church here in the 1830s. The existing pre-reformation Irish Church premises continued in use as a place of worship by the established Church of Ireland following the schism caused by the divorce of the newly created King of Ireland, Henry VIII. The subsequent church Reformation in the 1550s under Edward and later under Elizabeth I during the Tudor reconquest and plantation of Ireland was only moderately successful. It did not succeed with the majority of the native Irish or Hiberno-Irish leaders or, as a consequence, with their few priests or their generally illiterate followers. The former residential tower fortification of the castle (see thumbnail right) now forms part of the Church of Ireland church building. It was built originally in the late 14th century. There are remains of another 14th century church in
Colmanstown
