    A hundred years ago there was a school in Grady's barn. The teacher's name was Mr. Mahoney. The children had to pay a penny every day for their 'learning'. The teachers lodged in the houses where there were children going to school - board in lieu of fees. Irish was spoken by master and pupils. The present owners are Nolans Ballydoogan.
