Place & story
Different kinds of classroom
Samuel Lewis recorded about 350 children attending three public schools in Drung parish in 1837, with another 320 in seven private schools. Three Sunday schools provided additional teaching, whose pupils were not included in those totals. His account also placed Catholic chapels at Dunnannah and Bannow. These were facilities across the wider parish, extending beyond the settlement now known as Drung. [2]
