Place & story
Work and educational support
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account of Kilquane parish records a paper mill at a place he called Knockra. He also described two public schools, one endowed through a bequest from the Reverend M. O’Keane providing £10 a year. This was an annual educational endowment, rather than a stated sum for constructing the school. The parish church had been rebuilt in 1820 with a £650 gift from the Board of First Fruits. [2]
