Individual Details
Edmond Richard (Old Ned) WOULFE
(1788 - 13 May 1876)
According to Woulfe researcher Brendan Wolfe, Edmond built a family home at the Glen, Cratloe, in 1815. There he set up a "hedge school", so called because they operated, illegally, outdoors or in barns at a time when Catholic schools were forbidden in Ireland under the Penal Laws. Schooling at the Glen took place in an old outhouse in the Woulfe farmyard and carried on until until 1900. It was one of the last hedge schools in existence by then.
