Gretch Veg Cottage, Lonan

In [Manx] cottages are numerous little schools, and the children in general appear to be very decently dressed. Upon looking into their books, I observed that they were nearly all upon religious subjects...printed generally on one side in Manks and on the other in English.' (Nathaniel Jefferys, A Descriptive and Historical Account of the Isle of Man, 1809, M 00904)
