Place & story
Ten recipients sharing an annual fund
Mrs Jackson left an annual bequest of £10 to be divided among ten poor housekeepers in Killeshandra, according to Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account. The rector administered its distribution. The £10 was the whole yearly fund, rather than an individual payment to every recipient. This private provision for parish relief formed a separate arrangement from the schools Lewis described nearby, two of which received support from Lord Farnham. [2]
