Place & story
Schools beyond one village
Five subscription-supported schools taught about 500 children in Donohill parish, according to Samuel Lewis in 1837. He separately identified a school, chapel and police station in Anacarthy village, beside the stream of the same name. His entry also listed chapels at both Anacarthy and Donohill. The school total belongs to the wider parish, which extended into Clanwilliam and Kilnemanagh, rather than to Donohill village alone. [2]
