Place & story
A donated schoolhouse
About 170 children attended a public school in Kilcash parish when Samuel Lewis described it in 1837. The Marquess of Ormonde had given its schoolhouse. Lewis records the gift of the building, without specifying its date or describing an annual endowment. His parish entry also notes a dispensary, but does not name its staff or give its opening date.
