Abstract: |
The brick and pantiled barn at Glebe Farm was built c.1830 and is probably contemporary with the adjacent grade II-listed Rectory (now 'The Grange') to which it originally belonged. It served 35 acres of Rectorial glebe adjoining All Saints church, most of which was laid to pasture, and may have operated as a small tithe barn before the Commutation Act of 1836. The building contained a three-bay barn to the south and a shed and loft to the north which, at just 2.7 metres (9ft) was probably too narrow to operate in the usual manner as a stable and is more likely to have served as a vehicle shed. The barn possessed a central porch to the west and a wide, low door to the east which faced the entrance to the site. Parts of the brickwork survive from an earlier structure and are probably of late-17th-century origin. The distinctive outline of the building is created by a number of extensions, shown on the tithe map of 1845, and the structure has remained largely unaltered since this date. The church is not mentioned in Domesday, when the area was probably served by St Mary's church approximately 300 m to the south-east (in neighbouring Willingham parish), but the existing fabric dates from circa 1300 and a Rectory is likely to have occupied the site of the barn since its construction. The tithe map shows no other buildings in the vicinity, but a nearby medieval settlement may have been abandoned. |
