Place & story
Public, private and Sunday teaching
Samuel Lewis recorded thirteen public schools in Drumgoon parish in 1837, teaching about 1,080 children, and fourteen private schools with about 640 pupils. He separately noted an infants’ school and Sunday teaching in the meeting-houses. These parish-wide figures encompass Cootehill and its rural surroundings across Clankee and Tullygarvey. They describe several kinds of teaching provision, rather than an enrolment total for one town or school. [2]
