Ballitore
Ballitore () is a village in County Kildare, Ireland, sometimes spelt Ballytore.
It is noted for its historical Quaker associations. The Quaker School in Ballitore was founded by Abraham Shackleton (1697–1771) in 1726 which catered for Quakers from many parts of Ireland as well as both Protestant and Catholic local children.〔Merchants, Mystics and Philanthropists - 350 Years of Cork Quakers Richard S. Harrison〕 The former home of Mary Leadbeater, a local diarist, is now a Quaker Museum. The Quaker School is proposed for demolition in order to make way for a Glanbia development in the centre of the town.〔http://www.thejournal.ie/old-quaker-school-kildare-glanbia-1050067-Aug2013/〕
Pupils came from as far away as Bordeaux, Jamaica and Norway to stay and study in the school, staying in a row of houses in the village whose attics had been knocked into one long room.
