Place & story
Classrooms around the master’s house
Templetrine’s parochial schools were built in 1822, according to Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account. A central section housed the master, with a schoolroom in each of two wings. The Lord-Lieutenant’s fund and the rector contributed to construction, and the rector maintained the schools. Lewis separately recorded a girls’ school at Garretstown supported by the Misses Cuthbert. [2]
Slate and road stone
The parish’s quarries supplied slate and a soft shaly schist. Lewis thought the slate workings poorly managed, while the schist was used for road repairs and modest buildings. He also recorded the introduction of Scottish farming methods and occasional employment in coastal fisheries, setting quarry work beside agriculture and fishing. [2]
