Place & story
Learning and literary work
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account, headed Tullowmagrinagh, recorded a Mr. Haughton living in the parish who had translated some of Fénelon’s works. Lewis supplied neither a first name nor the titles of those translations, so the notice should not be expanded into a fuller biography without further evidence. He also recorded a national school at Tinryland, which he wrote as Tinriland, teaching about three hundred and forty children. The Catholic district extended beyond this civil parish to Ballinacarrig, Ballycrogue and Bennekerry; its two chapels were at Tinryland and Bennekerry, with the former within this parish. [2]
