Place & story
Support for a parish school
About seventy children attended a private school in Kilclone parish in 1837, according to Samuel Lewis. General Vandeleur contributed four pounds a year to its support. Lewis records the payment without identifying the teacher, locating the schoolhouse or stating its other income. The contribution therefore documents one source of help, rather than the school’s entire annual cost. [2]
