Place & story
A residence in Lewis’s survey
Samuel Lewis listed Bromley among the country residences of Kilcoole parish in 1837, naming its occupant as Lady Harriet Daly. The same account credited Lady Daly with building two of the parish’s public schools, then supported by Miss Daly. Lewis placed these schools within a wider parish network teaching about three hundred children. That total covers the public schools collectively, rather than just the two associated with the Daly family. His account connects Bromley’s resident with educational provision beyond the house itself, without identifying either school as standing within this townland. [2]
