What is recorded here
Kiln in Glebe has had its south wall rebuilt while the rest carries on looking its age. Up on that hillside, it’s giving the parish the old ‘I’ve had nothing done’ routine. Grand. Turn sideways.
Freestanding square-plan limekiln, built c. 1820, no longer in use. Coursed rubble limestone walls. South wall recently re-built. Round-arched opening to west elevation with red brick voussoirs. Set into hillside.
Occupying a prominent position on a hillside, this rubble limestone kiln is a notable surviving example of its type and serves as a reminder of the importance such structures once held within rural communities. The skilled stone construction is of technical interest and the kiln is an eye-catching feature within the landscape.
