On Sunday August 18th  the Skehana & District Heritage Group held a walk in the woods in Monivea Demesne as part of its contribution to National Heritage Week The selection of this location was not only to enjoy the sheer beauty of the area but also to provide some information of the very important and influential ffrench family who  as well as being one of the fourteen tribes of Galway city  and being synonymous with the Monivea area also had a significant presence in the Skehana and Menlough areas over many centuries
