    1. There was a hedge school often held in Rear Cross. Sometimes the teachers taught in the farmers' houses. Matty Flood and William Scully were the two teachers. They were local people. The children used to sit on stones. They had primer books English was spoken in school. They had no blackboard. The teachers used to stay a couple of months in each district.
