Place & story
Provision and use
A schoolhouse stood in Shronell in 1837, but Samuel Lewis explicitly reported that no school operated there. Lady Caroline Damer had contributed to its construction and endowed it with an acre of land. This was a building with an educational endowment, rather than evidence of classes continuing at that date. Lewis separately dated the parish church to about 1808 and recorded a three-hundred-pound Board of First Fruits loan for its tower in 1818, distinguishing the tower’s financing from the earlier church building.
