Place & story
A schoolhouse with land
A. French provided the schoolhouse and four acres for Tibohine’s parochial free school, according to Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account. Two other day schools received support from Lord Dillon. Around 400 children attended these schools collectively. Lewis separately recorded eleven private schools teaching about 500 boys and 200 girls, revealing a wider network of classrooms beyond the endowed institution. [2]
