Place & story
A shared place for teaching and worship
Samuel Lewis’s account of Shandrum in 1837 records regular Church of Ireland worship in the parochial schoolhouse, on the glebe near the old burial ground. His description states that this congregation had no church building. The rector supported the school, which formed part of a wider educational network that included seven private schools. Lewis gave approximately 420 children for these schools together, rather than assigning that total to the parochial school alone. [2]
