Place & story
Glenroan and Plumb Bridge
Major Humphreys built and supported a school for boys and girls at Glenroan, according to Samuel Lewis’s 1837 parish account. The school at Plumb Bridge depended on subscriptions. The parochial school, meanwhile, received a small annual payment from C. Hamilton’s bequest, though the rector supplied most of its support. These arrangements record several distinct ways of funding education in Bodoney Upper. [2]
