 The local primary school is St. Damian's, and the Church of the Holy Spirit Kimmage Manor is the local Roman Catholic parish church.According to Francis Elrington Ball, the author of "History of County Dublin" (1902), the extensive "civil parish of Crumlin" in the nineteenth century contained the townland of Perrystown.Early ordnance survey maps show the borders of Perrystown from the Dublin city county border line on the Whitehall Road (including Kimmage Manor and the river Poddle) to the start of Willington roundabout, taking in both sides of Templeville Road up to Grovenor Court.
