Place & story
Teaching across the parish
Samuel Lewis recorded about 410 children attending four schools in Inchicronan parish in 1837. One school was under the Catholic clergyman’s supervision; he supplied no comparable description of the other three. His account also places Catholic chapels at Crusheen and Meelick. The attendance is a combined parish figure, rather than the number taught at Crusheen alone. [2]
