Place & story
Support and pupil numbers
In 1837 Samuel Lewis reported about twelve children in Kilkerranmore’s parochial school, supported by the Cork Diocesan Association and the vicar. Two private schools together taught about two hundred children. The figures describe markedly different enrolments, but Lewis did not give individual totals for the private schools or explain the difference. He also recorded a £900 gift from the Board of First Fruits towards building the parish church. [2]
