Place & story
Subscriptions and a yearly bequest
Saint Finbar’s parochial boys’ school received a £20 annual subscription from the dean and chapter, according to Samuel Lewis in 1837. It also benefited from Mrs Shearman’s bequest of £10 a year, which Lewis specified in the older currency. He separately listed a parochial girls’ school, a National school for boys at Blackrock, a subscription-supported school and several Sunday schools within the parish. [2]
