Place & story
A schoolhouse provided without rent
Lady Massy provided a schoolhouse rent-free for a school under her patronage in Kiltenanlea, according to Samuel Lewis. His 1837 account also lists a parochial school supervised by the rector, another supervised by the Catholic clergyman and two private schools. About 290 children were educated across this group. That total covers the several schools together, rather than the school supported by Lady Massy alone. [2]
