Grange (Irish: An Ghráinseach) is a village near Clonmel in County Tipperary, Ireland.[1]

History

In 1829, a catholic church was established in the village.[2] In 1857, a school was established adjacent to the church. Separate boys' and girls' schools used the same building, and were headed by Thomas Hackett and his wife, Bridget, respectively.[2] In 1932, school principal James Mulcahy combined the boys' and girls' schools.[3] In January 1967, the school was amalgamated with the national school in North Grange, with 19 students moving to Grange School.[3]

Sport

The village is served by Ballybacon-Grange GAA, an intermediate hurling team in the Gaelic Athletic Association.
