Place & story
Changing cultivation
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account of Ballinadee parish in County Cork described nearly all its land as under tillage. Turnips, vetches and other green crops had recently been introduced, and he regarded their cultivation as an improvement. His description gives a dated view of agricultural practice rather than a claim that these crops had never previously been grown anywhere in the district. [2]
A continuing school contribution
The rector gave £10 annually towards the male and female parochial schools. Lewis recorded a Sunday school and a daily fee-paying school separately. The £10 was recurring support for the parochial schools together, not a stated construction cost or a separate grant to each school. No individual attendance figures were supplied. [2]
