Glebe Cottage

Glebe Cottage, formerly known as The Old Vicarage, is a Grade II* listed cottage dating from the 14th to 15th century, with elements from the 17th century. It features a timber-framed structure that is plaster rendered and has a thatched roof made of combed wheat reed, hipped at the crosswing and half-hipped over the hall. A single flue red brick ridge stack is present. The original layout included a hall and two crosswings, although the right-hand crosswing was likely removed in the 19th century. The hall has one storey with an attic, featuring one dormer and a single shuttered 19th-century horizontal sliding sash window. The two-storey crosswing jetties on the first floor and has one casement window above a full-length casement at ground level. Attached to the crosswing is a leanto, also timber-framed and thatched, which probably dates to the 18th century.

Inside, the open hall and one crosswing from the original 14th to 15th-century house remain. Rebates fit for two doorways can be seen in the end wall, indicating access to the now-demolished crosswing. In the 16th century, a floor and a red brick chimney were added to the open hall. The framing is largely intact, with the two-bay hall featuring a display truss that has deep arch bracing to the tiebeam and a crownpost roof. The post is square with stop-chamfered corners, and there is two-way curved upward bracing to the collar purlin and two-way downward bracing to the tiebeam. The roof is sooted. A closed truss separates the hall from the crosswing, with ground floor access, although the original doorway is no longer visible. The substantial framing in this wall includes upward angle bracing from the continuous centre post to the middle rail. The crosswing has two bays, with floor framing made of large joists laid flat. This roof was likely rebuilt in the 17th or 18th century. The eastern wallplate features a splayed scarf joint, probably from the 14th century, and a now-blocked window opening that shows evidence of diamond mullions.
