Place & story
Lord Dunalley’s school
In 1837 Samuel Lewis recorded a school supported by Lord Dunalley with about 150 children. Three private schools taught another hundred children collectively. He also noted a fund for the poor chiefly maintained by Lord and Lady Dunalley and the incumbent. The account distinguishes school provision from charitable relief in this Kilmore parish near Nenagh.
