Historic glebe house dating to sometime between 1643 and 1745 (the date is unclear and there is some difficulty in determining what structures various historic documents refer to). A glebe was a district of land whose use was to support a parish of the Anglican Church of England. Glebes were abolished in Virginia around the turn of the 19th century. This particular glebe was originally a private home that came to be a glebe through the will of the final private owner. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
