- The Local Hedge School
Long ago there was a school over near Jamsie Power's.The school was a barn. In the barn there was no windows but a door, the name of the teacher was Mag Pickford. She taught forthy girls for three shillings a quarter each. The floor in the school at that time was a mudy floor. The people that went to school that time had no shoes. They went through snow and frost without any shoes. When they were preparing for the Bishop they should go to Ballyduff chapel for a week before they were confirmed.
