About The Old Rectory
The National Inventory rates The Old Rectory Regional, one of 54 in Enniskerry. Its record dates The Old Rectory to 1855–1860.
Unusual Gothic rectory of c.1859 which adopts the Tudoresque styling favoured in many buildings in near by Enniskerry but in a much more informal manner resulting in a highly memorable composition.
