Place & story
National, society and household support
Mount Falcon and Lisaniska had schools under the National Board in Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account of Ballynahaglish parish. J. F. Knox gave an annual donation to the Mount Falcon school. Lewis also recorded two schools under the Baptist Society and another at Rehins Lodge supported by Mrs Atkinson and her daughters. His account connects different kinds of school provision with particular places and patrons, including women whose support appears without their given names being recorded. [2]
