To mark the 300th Anniversary of the founding of Ballitore School (March 1, 1726) and the 200th Anniversary of the death of Mary Leadbetter (June 27, 1826) there will be a guided walk from the Meeting House to the Burial Ground on May 17, 2026 starting at 2.30 pm. This will be followed by a visit to the Library (former home of Mary Leadbeater) where Clodagh Grubb will be launching her book “Dolls in the Attic”. The dolls studied all came from Quaker Homes, including those in Ballitore, and cover a wide variety of dolls and how they were played with by both boys and girls in the nineteenth century.
