What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey former glebe house, built 1829, now in use as private house. Two-bay two-storey extension and lean-tos to rear. Hipped slate roof with overhanging eaves having carved timber brackets and rendered chimneystacks. Flat roof to extension. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with timber sliding sash windows, six-over-three pane having limestone sills to first floor and six-over-six pane windows to ground floor. Round-headed window opening to rear having stained-glass margined one-over-one pane timber sliding sash window. Segmental-headed entrance doorway with spoked fanlight and decorative frieze over timber panelled door with flanking timber Doric-style engaged columns having plinth blocks, approached by flagstone paving. Rubble limestone masonry boundary walls to site with segmental-headed archway having corrugated-iron double-leaf doors leading to rear courtyard having outbuilding with hipped slate roof and rendered walls. Recent square-profile rubble stone piers to north.
This former glebe retains its original form and fenestration rhythm. The fine doorcase is of particular interest and is a well-executed feature. Wallstown Glebe was partially funded by the Board of First Fruits on the condition that the house was used for services until the completion of the parish church.
