Grangegorman: a bit of a timeline


Grangegorman on Dublin's northside is rich in history from pre-Viking times onwards. By the start of the 17th century, along with Stoneybatter the area was still a remote village, separate from the city.

Before that it had functioned as a home farm and orchard for the priories, with its manor in Stoneybatter (hence Manor Street).
