Place & story
L. White and R. J. Stevelly
Samuel Lewis recorded schools for boys and girls at Dromcolliher supported by L. White and R. J. Stevelly, under the vicar’s supervision. His 1837 description also noted a daily penny post to Charleville and six annual fairs, generally well attended. These details place the schools within a village serving its surrounding farming district. Lewis names the patrons but gives neither their individual contributions nor the location or construction date of the school premises. [2]
