  1. Hedge-Schools

    Share Share Post
    There were hedge schools in Ardfinnan about seventy five years ago. There was a hedge school where Mr. William Donnell is living now. Mr William Shaw is the man who taught in that school. He lived in the village of Ardfinnan. English was taught in that school but there was no Irish. Writing was done with pen and pencil. There was no blackboard in the school.
    Stones and blocks of timber they had for seats. The teachers remained a long time in Ardfinnan.
