Place & story
A shared building at Ballynoe
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account records Ballynoe’s Catholic chapel as also serving a national school. The village lay on the old road between Castlemartyr and Fermoy, within Kinnatalloon barony. His description places classroom teaching inside a religious building, giving the chapel a role in daily education as well as parish worship. [2]
