Place & story
Support across the rural parish
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 Derryloran account lists schools for boys and girls at Ballygroogan, Tubberlane, Killycurragh and Derrycrummy, aided by annual donations from Lord Castle-Steuart. He also mentions two schools at Cloghoge and one at Gortolery supported by collections at the Catholic chapel. These rural schools were additional to those in Cookstown. His description concerns the wider historical parish, which extended from Tyrone into Londonderry. [2]
