    Corville school was first opened on May Day, 1864. A woman called Mrs. Browne taught in it first. Mr. and Mrs. Browne lived in what we now call the coal-room. Mr. Browne used to teach in Ballinakill school. He used to cycle to and from the school. Mr. and Mrs. Browne had to live in one room. There was a fireplace in it. The chimney is still standing.
    In later years Mrs. Molyneaux taught in Corville school. It is seventy four years built now. The present teacher is Mrs. Browne.
