Place & story
A house dated 1756
Kilcorran House carries the date 1756 on a rear doorway lintel. The architectural inventory records a three-storey house with three bays, sandstone window surrounds and an unusually prominent approach: twelve stone steps climb to the principal entrance at first-floor level. Later replacement sash windows reproduce earlier forms. The entrance and larger first-floor windows emphasise the main reception storey, while surviving outbuildings record the working premises behind the residence. [2]
School registers from Nart
Nart belongs to the same electoral division. In May 2024, the Irish Family History Foundation announced digitised school records including Nart’s girls’ register for 1877–1921 and boys’ register for 1877–1922. The provider describes these registers as recording pupils and attendance, subjects and examination results. These dates identify the surviving series made available, rather than proving when the school opened or closed. [3]
