Place & story
Relief alongside the market
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 description of Cootehill records a Ladies’ Society selling blankets and clothing at half price. The town also had a dispensary and three schools, including an infants’ school, with Sunday instruction in several places of worship. These services formed part of a busy market town in Tullygarvey, where general provisions were sold on Fridays and grain on Saturdays. The clothing scheme was a subsidised sale, rather than a recorded distribution of free goods. [2]
