Place & story
Donations to the parochial school
Lord Carbery and the incumbent contributed donations to Dromdaleague’s parochial school, according to Samuel Lewis in 1837. About 150 children attended it and another school together. Three private schools taught about 130 more, and Lewis also listed a Sunday school. These totals describe a dispersed parish network, rather than attendance at one village school. [2]
