Place & story
Support for two public schools
Kiltullagh’s two public schools received distinct subscriptions in Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account. The rector contributed £5 annually to one school and W. R. Wills £4; Mrs Wills supplied £2 a year to the other. W. R. Wills was also building a schoolhouse near the church. About 120 children attended the two public schools collectively, while roughly 830 attended eight private schools across the parish. [2]
