  1. The Story of Ringville School

    Share Share Post
    There is the ruins of the old Ringville schoolhouse in the Castle Lane built on the Ringville Estate then inhabited by Lady Esmonde.
    It was built about 200 years ago. It had a thacthed roof. There was a nice long garden in the front with a well in lower end. Part of the wall is still standing and the stones from the old school-house are still strewn about.
    It was closed sixty years ago. When the new school where I am going now was built. And this school was also endowed by Lady Esmonde it is built on the same times as the old school.
