Description

Glebe House is a house, originally the vicarage, built in 1843 and enlarged between 1856 and 1857 for Lord North. The architect was Benjamin Ferrey. The house is constructed of red brick with limestone dressings, and has a modern replacement roof tiled roof. It is one storey and attic with a basement. The original L-shaped layout was later extended to the rear in 1856-7. The south wing features a parapet gable with an octagonal finial. A moulded limestone string course runs around the building. The front elevation includes a dormer window with deep chamfered mullions and leaded lights. To the left of the main entrance is a four-light casement window with deep chamfered mullions, alongside a studded boarded door set in a four-centred arch, approached by stone steps. A two-light first-floor window is present on the south wing. The interior retains contemporary details. Records show a planned parsonage in 1843, and further work between 1856 and 1857 on the Cheveley Green Estate. Original plans and specifications are documented, alongside an obituary for Benjamin Ferrey in "The Builder" from 4 September 1880.
