Place & story
Using the income from £500
Kilworth’s parochial school was supported by interest from a £500 bequest by the Rev. Dr Moore, a former incumbent, according to Samuel Lewis in 1837. An annual donation from the vicar added to that support. Two acres of rent-free land accompanied the schoolhouse. Lewis distinguished this provision from another school chiefly supported by Lady Mountcashel and from a national schoolhouse erected in the Catholic chapel yard in 1833. [2]
