Place & story
Two fairs in June
Samuel Lewis recorded a fair at Laherdane on 29 June and another at Ballagheen on 24 June in 1837. These belonged to Addergoole parish in Mayo, beside Lough Conn. His account also reported extensive reclamation of bog and mountain land, alongside cultivated ground. [2]
Public schools and hedge schools
Two public schools in the parish taught about 130 boys and thirty girls in Lewis’s account. Six hedge schools taught approximately 160 boys and seventy girls. These were parish-wide figures, rather than enrolments assigned to Laherdane alone. [2]
