Place & story
Local provision at Stratford Lodge
Lewis’s account of Baltinglass parish identifies two schools at Stratford Lodge supported by Lady Elizabeth Stratford, one of them for infants. Two other schools brought the combined attendance he reported to about 260 boys and 190 girls. These figures cover all four schools, rather than the Lodge schools alone. Within the Stratford Lodge demesne he also recorded a shop supplying poor people with goods at cost price, a separate form of local assistance. [2]
