Place & story
A school with a patron
Samuel Lewis listed four schools in Drumlumman in 1837, one supported by Lord Farnham. He also recorded two private schools teaching about 170 children. The entry distinguishes a school with aristocratic support from other classrooms in the parish, without naming their individual teachers or locating the buildings. [2]
