  1. Hedge-Schools

    Everyone going to hedge schools would have to bring a sod of turf for the fire. They would have one little boy on the watch, because the Catholic's were not allowed to have school. These laws were all against the Catholic's and they had to go out into the fields to learn the Christian Doctrine and other lessons.
