Place & story
Two schools and their supporters
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account of Ballintemple parish distinguished two schools serving about two hundred and twenty children together. One stood near Dundrum and taught boys and girls with support from Viscount Hawarden. It had a house and garden. The other received help through private subscriptions. Lewis did not divide the combined pupil total between them. He also recorded a dispensary, placing education and medical provision among the institutions serving the parish around the Dundrum estate and village. [2]
