Schoolhouse on the Blessington Village Heritage Trail

Parish Schoolhouse

The Parish Schoolhouse is now The Grange Con cafe. Originally built around 1820 by the third Marquis of Downshire as a girl’s school. A boy’s school originally established by Penelope Dunbar, the wife of the owner of the estate in the 1770s, was situated in an adjoining building fronting the main street.
