    (continued from previous page)
    when the children were forbidden to attend school they gathered together behind a hedge and they were taught by some learned person of the district. These school were called hedge schools.Then as time went on old sheds and byres were used as schools and the children's only seats were the ground.
    There are very few examples of these schools in this district.
