The Glebe

The Glebe is a part of land given to a clergyman in this a protestant minister. The Glebe is only a quarter of a mile away from my house. It is situated a on hill called Ceim A Tarbh. The Glebe entrance is as it was two hundred years ago except the ornate gate is replaced with a new farm gate. Moss covers the wall and a tree grows in the wall.Here is the entrance at present.

All that is left now of the Glebe is a huge wall that surrounded the house.

Of the house itself, only a few bits of the wall about three feet high, remain.
It must have been a beautiful house as it cost over one thousand three hundred-pound to build in 1880. (Probably it would cost over a quarter of a million pound to build to day) As I Stood thereat the gate I wondered what it would be like to live in the huge house.

There must have been lots of wealthy and important people living in the in the house long ago.
