Loughglinn School — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Detached eight-bay single-storey former national school, built in 1854, with returns to rear and pedimented entrance porch. No longer in use. Hipped slate roof. Cut limestone walls with tooled limestone quoins and limestone eaves course. Plaque in tympanum of pediment reads: 'Loughglyn Schools 1854'. Square-headed window openings with paired uncarved limestone blocks underneath stone sills. Tooled limestone window and door surrounds. School located at the entrance to the avenue leading to the former Loughglynn House.

Located at the entrance to the avenue leading to the former Loughglynn House, the school catered for both boys and girls from the area. Charles Strickland, who acted as agent for Lord Dillon in his absence, prompted Viscount Dillon to erect the schools. Thus the school building is a reminder of the time when benevolent landlords, such as Dillon, made provision for the education of his tenants' children.
