https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grange_Abbey Grange Abbey is a ruined chapel on the former Grange of Baldoyle lands, in the townland of Baldoyle, now in Donaghmede, at the northern edge of Dublin, Ireland. It belonged to the Priory of All Hallows and then, from 1539, to Dublin Corporation. Disused by 1630, it was later noted as a “picturesque ruin” and was registered as a National Monument. It was part-restored in the mid-1980s, and archaeological works were carried out in 1986 and 1999. The Priory of All Hallows (or All Saints) was founded by the King of Leinster, Diarmuid MacMurrough in 1166, just outside Dublin city, and to support it he gifted to Edan, the Bishop of Louth, the lands of Baldoyle with their existing tenants[2]: p.129 (and it is later noted that the priory had the rights to wrecks on the Baldoyle coast also). The priory is noted as still holding a Grange at Baldoyle in 1275 and while no early reference to a chapel or church is made, it would have been common for a monastic holding to have some such facility. One writer on the topic, Mac Giolla Phadraig, calculated, based on architecture, that the building might date from the late 13th or early 14th century.[2]: p.130

The first explicit reference to the chapel dates from 1369, noting that the Lord Deputy of Ireland held a Parliament in “the Church of the Grange” then. A further reference is made in 1472, when a John Sherreff of Howth left money to the churches at Coolock, Raheny and “Little Grange,” this last being the small chapel on the grange lands at Baldoyle. The chapel was noted as having a double-arched bell turret.[2]: p.130 In the History of Dublin Parishes booklet series, Dr Donnelly states that the lands at Baldoyle constituted the home farm of the Priory, and that the small church here was the Parish Church for the area and the priory’s tenants, serfs and villeins, served by a member of the priory’s brethren residing at this place.[2]: p.129 #donaghmede @dublincanvas #baldoyle #grangeabbey by @sterooart

It’s been an honour to be selected by Dublin Canvas for this project in Donaghmede. Grange Abbey is a wonderful piece of local history. Geometry and vibrant colours essential to make it pop.
