About The Rectory
The Rectory is one of 54 buildings in Enniskerry the National Inventory rates Regional. The Rectory dates from 1825–1835. 18 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
Small single-storey house which appears to represent a late-Victorian remodelling of a much simpler (perhaps pre 1830) dwelling. An interesting attempt at formalisation.

When was The Rectory built?

Is The Rectory 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.
