Glebe House

Glebe House is a parsonage house, now a private residence, dating from the 17th century or earlier, with some rebuilding from the late 18th century and 20th century. It is constructed of slatestone and features a concrete pantile gable roof along with lateral brick and stone stacks. The house has a three-room plan and a single-storey wing at the front, standing two storeys tall with an irregular six-window front. The ground floor includes a window, a French window, another window, two French windows, the wing, and a blind section to the right of the wing. The left two bays are characterized by cambered brick arches and projecting keystones. The windows are 18-pane and 12-pane sashes. There is a blocked brick fireplace to the left of the brick lateral stack, indicating that the wing has been reduced. A buttress on the far right may suggest the existence of a further wing that is no longer present. The rear features an external stone lateral stack and a projection that may serve as a lateral chimney breast.

Inside, the house has a wide hearth and a bread oven, along with bowtell moulded beams and a straight flight stair with a panelled dado, likely from the early 18th century. This house was the residence of historian and writer the Reverend John Whitaker from 1777 until his death in 1808. In his work, "The History of Ruan Lanihorne," he provides a detailed account of the house, its alterations, and its previous occupants. Additionally, Henry Dell, the vicar from 1643, built a room to the south, which he described as one of the best rooms in any parsonage house in the county, notable for its size, height, and regularity, with a handsomely coved ceiling measuring 19 feet by 18 feet 6 inches.
