Description

Fidlers Glebe Cottage is a church house that has been divided into two cottages. It is documented to have existed in 1596 when it was occupied by Hercules Barton. The building is constructed of flint rubble and features a thatched roof that is hipped at the right end and gabled at the left end. There is a brick chimney stack on the left end and a large, shallow-projecting lateral stack at the rear that spans almost half of the rear elevation. The plan is single depth and is situated adjacent to the churchyard, facing south. While the interior was not inspected, it is suggested that the stack may have been used for brewing church ale and baking church bread.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical front that has three windows. To the right, there is a 20th-century thatched porch leading into Fidlers. The windows are small-pane casement windows from the 18th and 19th centuries, with some featuring square leaded panes. On the west end, which is visible from the churchyard, there is a stone plaque that reads "Labour in vain" in capital letters. Although the interior was not examined, it is likely that an early roof structure may still be present. The cottage has group value with the nearby church and the Chantry.
