50th Anniversary About the school Headfort House Home

Headfort is a large Georgian house in Kells, Co. Meath Eire. It is the only considerable Irish example of the work of the Scottish architect and designer Robert Adam. The house was completed roughly 200 years ago in around 1775. The South Front The exterior was designed by the Irish architect George Semple and many of Adam's designs for the interior were somewhat modified, though his characteristic Neo-Classical motifs abound in the principal rooms of the house. The house is currently owned by Headfort Charitable Trust and we pursue a great range of academic, sporting and cultural activities in the house and its grounds, whilst remaining, one hopes, sensitive to the beautiful environment in which we live and work. As well as the school prospectus, this site also contains archive material about our recent 50th Anniversary and detail about the formal rooms in the house. Renovations continue and as more progress is made, more will appear here. At the moment, only the Front Hall has been completed. We are currently seeking funding to finance all the restoration; if you feel you would like to help, please Email us Elsewhere on the net we deal with the day to day workings of the school and with other events for which the house is used , including letting arrangements and hiring the house for parties, conferences and so on.
