Place & story
Annual support and building assistance
Samuel Lewis recorded two public schools in Kilcooly parish in 1837, with about 280 children between them. Mr. Barker and Lady Harriet Barker subscribed £20 a year to one of these schools. He also noted a Wesleyan Methodist meeting house. The Church of Ireland rector’s residence had received different forms of assistance: in 1818 the Board of First Fruits gave £350 and lent £450 towards its erection. Its twenty-two-acre glebe was rented by the rector for £42 12s a year in the older currency. [2]
