Place & story
A school supported in two ways
Kilgullane’s incumbent chiefly maintained its parochial school, attended by about forty children in Lewis’s 1837 account. The master could use six plantation acres of glebe land without paying rent. The schoolhouse itself had cost £60: £50 came from the Lord-Lieutenant’s school fund, with the incumbent meeting the remainder. This distinguishes the capital cost of providing classrooms from the continuing support afforded to the teacher through access to land. [2]
