Why it mattered

outbuilding — GRAWKY GLEBE matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This attractive outbuilding, of late nineteenth century appearance, retains its original form and character. Its visual appeal and integrity are enhanced by the retention of salient fabric such as the natural slate roof and the battened timber doors. The contrast between the rubble stone walls and the red brick surrounds to the openings is a characteristic feature of many outbuildings of its type and date, and adds an attractive tonal and textural variation to this building. This building represents a relatively intact example of its type and date, and is an attractive feature on the rural landscape to the east… This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
