The man who taught here was named Patrick Drake. The Children had to pay five or six pence per week. There was very little Irish spoken by either the children or the master.
At that time there was no blackboard so the children had to use slates in their stead.
While they were teaching a watch was kept lest the enemy should approach
If so they would be arrested and fined a big sum of money.
