Place & story
Board support and pupil payments
The historical field-name record for Clonagh places a National School in Coolcappagh, described as a central townland of the parish. It records sixty boys and thirty-five girls there, all Roman Catholics. The teacher was paid partly by the National Board of Education, while some pupils contributed according to their circumstances. The same entry describes farms ranging from one to thirty acres, growing wheat, oats and potatoes, with fuel scarce. Together these observations place the school within the agricultural community recorded by the survey. [2]
