The Glebe House

The Glebe House is a former rectory, now a house, dating to the late 16th and early 17th centuries, with a later extension and a garden front added in 1842 by Daukes and Hamilton. The early part of the building is constructed of limestone rubble, with ashlar stacks, some of which have been restored in the 20th century. The building is laid out on a rectangular plan, with a wash house extension to the east gable and a later extension to the south front. It is two storeys and has an attic. The north front, which originally faced towards the village, has two gabled sections with a wash house extension. It features 2- and 3-light stone mullioned casement windows with stopped hoods over the gables. Between the two gables is a single bay with a 2-light flat-chamfered stone mullioned casement (one 20th century); a 20th-century four-light stone mullioned casement is lower left, with a single-light casement above, having a flat-chamfered surround. A 3-light casement is present in the wash house. All casements contain leaded panes. The garden front, facing north, is almost symmetrical, with two gables flanking a small gablet. It contains a four-light stone mullioned casement with a transom and stopped hood to the lower left; a 5-light stone mullioned canted bay with a transom to the lower right; a central stone mullioned cross window with a stopped hood below the gablet; and 3-light stone mullioned casements with stopped hoods to the gables either side. Blind single-light Tudor-arched windows are present in the gables. A central 20th-century glass door with glazing bars is set within a flat-chamfered 'Tudor'-arched surround with carved spandrels and blind panelling above. A 19th-century gabled projecting porch provides the main access to the house. Gable-end stacks are present on the early range, and projecting 19th-century stacks with twin diagonally set shafts are found on the later range. The gables of the 19th-century garden front feature stepped coping with roll-cross saddles and moulded kneelers. The interior was not inspected.
