School in Grenan, County Laois

What is recorded here

School in Grenan has scalloped timber trim beneath its eaves, like a giant doily. You could insist you were too grown-up for school, but you'd still be spending Monday inside your granny's best biscuit tin.

Detached three-bay single-storey Church of Ireland school, c.1850, with single-bay single-storey gabled breakfront porch. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimneystacks, and overhanging eaves with scalloped fascia board. Roughcast walls with cut-limestone quoins to corners. Round-headed central door opening with replacement timber door having fanlight. Square-headed window openings with cut-limestone sills and timber casement windows. Set back from road in landscaped grounds with roughcast boundary wall.
