James Orr, father of Mary Orr, was considered a non-conformist and was beheaded during the siege of Derry. His head was placed on a spear, in public, as a warning to the enemy.
According to history, Derry was surrounded and the city held captive by the Catholic forces. Many months later English forces, sent by the Protestant King, fought the enemy and freed the town.
