Place & story
The Earl of Kenmare’s annual support
In 1837 Samuel Lewis recorded nearly 400 girls receiving free instruction from the Presentation nuns in the part of Killarney town within Aghadoe parish. The Earl of Kenmare contributed £100 annually towards its support. Lewis separately mentioned another school funded by subscriptions and a £5 annual donation from the earl. The two donations supported distinct schools in his account. [2]
