The Glebe House The Old Rectory

The Glebe House, also known as The Old Rectory, is a house that was once used as a rectory and has since been divided. It dates back to the 15th century, with alterations made in the 16th century and further enlargement in the 19th century. The building features roughcast on the left side and rendered rubble on the right, topped with a triple Roman tiled roof and decorative ridge tiles. There is a central stone stack and an independently roofed extension on the right, with all gables adorned with decorative bargeboards.

The layout consists of a medieval hall house with four bays on the left, which has been ceiled and later expanded with a T-shaped block added in the 19th century to the right. The structure is two stories high and has a facade with four, two, one, and one bays. The right side includes three-light casements in four gabled dormers, with two 16-pane sashes and two 12-pane sashes beyond. On the ground floor, there are two three-light casements on the left, a pair of 16-pane sashes, and a pair of 12-pane sashes flanking a round-headed doorway that features a plank door with a blocked fanlight.

The entrance to the left half is in a single-storey, one-bay extension, while there is a full-height canted bay on the right return. Although the interior was not viewed, it is said to contain remains of smoke-blackened jointed crucks, indicating the presence of an open hall house, as well as hollow chamfered beads from the 16th century when the hall was ceiled. The building is listed primarily for its group value, as the many gables with decorative bargeboards create a lively backdrop to the church, and also for its historical significance as a reputed medieval hall house.
