  2. Old Hedge-Schools

    Share Share Post
    hedge schools existed in the Parish of Annagelliffe until the national Schools were established.
    The last hedge school that existed was one in Annagelliff lane. It was in the shade of a very old whitethorn hedge, well sheltered from the North and East winds. Geography was taught on the ground, maps of countries and river, etc, traced with pebbles. Letters were also formed with small stones, and then burned sticks were used to form them on rough paper. The last teacher who taught in Annagelliffe Hedge school was Séan Caughey, he was born in the townland of Latt, and is buried in the old graveyard of Annagiliffe
