Place & story

About 120 pupils

Lewis’s 1837 account of Tullamain records about 120 children at the national school in Rose-Green. His parish entry also lists two private schools educating about ninety children between them, without placing those schools specifically in Rosegreen. The figures describe schools rather than the townland’s population, and preserve an early record of education here. [2]
