About Echlin House
The National Inventory rates Echlin House Regional, one of 181 in Dolphins Barn. Its record dates Echlin House to 1890–1900. 16 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
The elegant proportions of this former presbytery are enhanced by the symmetrical three-bay arrangement of the façade, with a central doorway and hipped roof. This design is derived from the characteristic design of glebe houses or small country houses of the early nineteenth century.

Can you visit Echlin House?

When was Echlin House built?

Is Echlin House protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
