Deansgrange (Irish: Gráinseach an Déin, meaning 'The Dean's Grange') is a southern suburb of Dublin, centred on the crossroads of Clonkeen Road and Kill Lane.
The Ordnance Survey Ireland map 1837–1842 shows a "Grange Church" (now in ruins, the modern housing estate surrounding it is called Kill Abbey), "Kill Abbey" (still existing), "Grange House" (demolished with the building of the South Park estate), and "Glebe House" (still existing).
[citation needed] Kill Church was designed by Welland and Gillespie architects in 1863 and built by James Douglass.
In 1931 Hubert McGoldrick designed a 'The Good Shepheard' leaded glass window.
[4][full citation needed] Deansgrange Cemetery is, together with Glasnevin and Mount Jerome, one of the largest cemeteries in Dublin and is the burial place of many famous people, including Flann O'Brien, Count John McCormack, Frank O'Connor, Eamon Martin, Seán Lemass, Dermot Morgan, Delia Murphy, Sinéad O'Connor and the Nobel Laureate Ernest Walton.
