Place & story
Claims below forty shillings
In 1837 Samuel Lewis recorded a monthly court at Corronary, held by the manor’s seneschal to recover debts below 40 shillings. His Knockbride account also noted a large oatmeal mill within the parish. These details identify legal and processing services alongside the district’s arable and pasture farming, without confining the parish’s activity to its churches and schools. [2]
