    How Charterschool got its name
    The house known as the Charterschool is a bout a mile from Charleville on the southern side. It was built by "Lord Broghill" in the year 1661 and was intended for the upkeep and education of six protestant boys and six protestant girls. On writing to Queen Elizabeth he received a charter. Writing therefore to her for her privilige he said "that he hoped to make this a good protestant town".
    The house is a two storey house and there is an orchard attached to it.
