Butlersbridge NS Built 1903
Butlersbridge
The schoolhouse occupied an acre site on the Clones Road. Mr. Cusack’s house may be the original building. The school which was Church of Ireland got a grant of £7 per year from the Society for the Discountenancing of Vice and £10 from a private source. John Humphries was the teacher and there were 74 pupils on roll. According to local tradition, Indian corn was distributed from this building during the Famine.
