- There was a hedge school in Goosberry hill. It was taught by Mr Cremin. He was a local man
He lodged every night in the neighbouring houses. He was paid by the pupils. The taught riting, reading, and arithmetic. They spoke and taugt Irish. Irish was encouraged there. The primer was a book they used there. When they were writing they used quills as writing pens. They made ink out of soot. They used a slate for doing their sums. The had no black-board at that time
The teacher remained there until national schools came.
