Place & story
Financing the glebe-house
Estersnow’s glebe-house was erected in 1821 with a £337 gift and a £70 loan from the Board of First Fruits, according to Samuel Lewis. The distinction preserves how the building was financed: part of the assistance was a grant, while another part was repayable. Lewis placed the parish’s plain church in a deep hollow near the southern end of the Plains of Boyle. [2]
School patronage at Camlin
Lewis’s 1837 account names Mrs Irwin of Camlin as patron of a school. That school and the parochial school together taught about eighty children; a separate private school taught roughly thirty. He supplied neither Mrs Irwin’s first name nor the precise site of her school. [2]
