Place & story
Schooling and market days
In 1837 Samuel Lewis described Clogherny’s parochial school near the church as built by the inhabitants at a cost of £800 and supported by the rector. He counted eleven other schools in the parish, with four Sunday schools listed separately. His account also records a weekly Wednesday market at Beregh and fairs there on each month’s first Monday. Seskinore’s livestock fairs followed on the second Monday. The schoolhouse’s construction cost and these trading schedules describe different practical features of parish life, rather than present-day services. [2]
