| The HMS Campbelltown's Ship's Bell The ship's Bell from the first HMS Campbeltown was presented to the town of Campbelltown in Pennsylvania, USA at the end of the Second World War as a token of gratitude to the USA for the lend- lease programme. In 1988 the townspeople of Campbelltown voted to lend the bell to the current HMS Campbeltown for the duration of her service in the Royal Navy, after which it will then be returned to America. HMS Campbeltown maintains strong links with the people of Campbelton, Argyll and Campbelltown, PA The Church and Schools. The Church and School The church established and operated the first schools in the township. The Presbyterians erected the first school in the township near Colebrook in 1772 Campbelltown soon followed with a church- operated school. In the early 1840s the "Directors of the Common Schools of Londonderry Township" began purchasing land throughout the township to erect schoolhouses for a public school system. South Londonderry sprouted a total of seven schoolhouses, but consolidation in 1936 reduced the number to two. The remaining schoolhouses at Campbelltown and Lawn were operated under the auspices of the Palmyra Area School District well into the 20th Century and closed in 1972 and 1981 respectively. |

by at least by 6,000 BC. Most recently, an roquoian- speaking
tribe known as the Susquehannocks settled here prior to white settlement. They remained in the area until defeated as a nation by the Iroquois in 1675. |
