Place & story
Balteagh and Bluestone
In 1837 Samuel Lewis described boys’ and girls’ schools at Balteagh and Bluestone, chiefly supported by Lord and Lady Mandeville. They had accommodation for the teachers and lending libraries. The Tanderagee loan and clothing fund and Portadown dispensary were connected with these schools, offering services to parents and children. Schooling thus appears in his account alongside practical assistance for the families using the classrooms. [2]
