This was written on the gates of Bandon
"Turk, Jew or Atheist
may enter here

For the same is written
on the gates of hell"
There was a hedge school in Fanlobus and Arthur Hennessy was the master. He used teach a subject and he used say to the scholars "Rehearse" "Rehearse". He used teach Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. The four walls are still remaining.
