Appraisal
A grammar school, now known as "Saint David's House", which has been much renovated in the late twentieth century, resulting in the erosion of some character. The grammar school retains little original fabric, with the exception of a slate roof, and it is also possible that the interior has been much altered. The grammar school nevertheless forms an attractive group with the adjacent Saint David's Church (Naas) (see 11814125).
