Place & story
School and sessions
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 parish account describes Shangarry’s schoolhouse as a substantial stone building costing £200, paid partly by government and partly through subscriptions. He does not divide that sum between the contributors or give a construction date. The village of Myshall also hosted petty sessions on alternate Wednesdays and road sessions four times a year. These were different schedules, and the account supplies no dates for the road sessions. [2]
