Place & story
Work and education in 1837
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account of Kilmanagh records culm being raised at Killeen and a grist mill in the parish. Alongside this working landscape, he described a parochial school receiving £10 a year from the rector, who had also endowed it with three-quarters of an acre. About sixty children attended that school, while two private schools taught a further 140. The annual contribution and the land endowment were distinct forms of support. [2]
