The Sprigging School was established by Lady Carbery in 1825 at a time when there was a market for handmade lace. The name sprigging comes from the type of lace associated with Rathbarry which was known as sprigging lace as it was shaped like a sprig or spray. This small scale building forms part of a significant group of related structures with the demesne buildings found in the village and elsewhere on the former estate.
