Boundary Wall To The West And North Of Glebe House

CREDITON

SS834000 CHURCH STREET 672-1/6/16 Boundary wall to the west and north 11/10/72 of Glebe House

GV II

Boundary wall to Glebe House (q.v), formerly the vicarage. Probably C18 or earlier, circa 1840 carriage/service entrance on north side. Partly Posbury volcanic trap, partly roughcast (probably cob) with slate coping; granite archway to carriage entrance. The wall is about 3m high and curves in to the main entrance to Glebe House in Church Street, where it is constructed of small squared blocks of stone. This section may be later than the remainder, which is roughcast on a stone rubble plinth with a rounded corner at the junction of Church Street and Belle Parade. On the Belle Parade side, to the north of the house, it is gabled above a Gothic Revival moulded granite 2-centred archway leading into the service courtyard of the house. The doorway has a circa 1840 2-leaf plank and cover strip door with an arched head. Tall cob walls are an important part of the local character of the East Town area of Crediton, around the parish church.
