Place & story
A schoolhouse provided locally
Calverstown lies within Narragh and Reban East barony. Samuel Lewis’s 1837 Narraghmore account records a school there connected with the Board of National Education, with its building erected by Robert Borrowes. He separately described a school at Skerries whose schoolhouse had been built by Mr. Lappen, also linked to the Board. These were distinct from the subscription-supported parochial school, which he reported teaching about a hundred children. [2]
