Place & story
A house and garden for the school
In 1837 Samuel Lewis recorded a school of eighteen boys and five girls at Culmullin. Mr. Dopping provided its house and garden rent-free; Lewis separately identified A. J. Dopping as the resident of Colmolyn House. The parish lay on the cross road between Kilcock and Warrenstown. Near the house stood remains of an older church, with a rath recorded on the parish’s eastern side. [2]
