Description
Glebe House, now used as offices, dates from the mid to late 15th century and was altered around 1978. It is constructed of pennant rubble with limestone dressings and features a stone gable-end stack. The building has a single-depth plan, with the rear overhanging the south aisle of All Hallows on Corn Street. It stands three stories tall with a basement and has a three-window range. The corners are chamfered at street level, and the upper parts are corbelled out. The central doorway is Tudor-arched and has a label mould, leading to a studded, ribbed door. The windows include cross windows with metal casements, a three-light window to the right on the second floor, and a single-light window above the door. The left gable end has irregular fenestration, including a canted ground-floor bay on the right with cross windows and a roll-top parapet, and a cinquefoil-headed two-light window to the left above the steps down to the basement, with single-light windows above the bay and in the attic.
Inside, the ground floor features a mid-20th century stair. The first-floor room has a Tudor-arched stone fireplace with cyma and hollow moulding, and a splayed stop at the base, along with chamfered beams, one of which is marked with "15 WH 85." There is also a covered window with a trefoil head that looks onto the church below. The second-floor room has a similar fireplace and a three-bay roof that was rebuilt around 1980, featuring cambered collars and ties, clasped purlins, and a ceiling above the collars. A small window with splayed reveals and a trefoil head is located to the right of the fireplace. Traditionally, the house is said to have been built onto the southwest corner of the church in 1422 as a parsonage, with visible evidence suggesting a remodelling in the 16th century.
