Place & story
School support in 1837
Samuel Lewis distinguished several forms of schooling in Cullenwaine parish in 1837. The parochial school received help from the incumbent and other contributors, while the parish priest supported a school in the village. Lewis separately counted about thirty boys and ten girls in a private school. His account, published under the spelling Cullenwayne, places Moneygall within the parish and its Catholic chapel at the town. It gives no construction dates for the schoolhouses. [2]
