What is recorded here

Detached five-bay two-storey glebe house, built in 1815, with flat-roofed porch added to front. Now disused. Set within own grounds. Hipped slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles, rendered chimneystacks and terracotta pots. Roughcast rendered walls with smooth render to plinth. Replacement uPVC windows with painted sills. Replacement timber and glazed double door to porch. Random coursed sweeping wall with piers and wrought-iron gates.
Built in 1814 at a cost of £821, this glebe house was also the birthplace of the astronomer Charles Jasper Joly who was born in 1864. It has retained much of its original form. It forms an interesting group of ecclesiastical structures with the neighbouring Saint Catherine's Church (Tullamore).
