The Ordnance Survey first edition map shows a collection of buildings here as Glebe Farm. By the second edition Ordnance Survey of 1890 a new Glebe Farm (HER 8799) and Dairy (HER 8755) had been built a short distance away to the south east. The former farm buildings became a school (HER 8752) and a clergy house. The clergy house was occupied by several curates over the years. In 1948 Rev. Oswald Noel occupied the house. The old rectory (HER 264) was sold to the council in 1949 so the clergy house became the new rectory. The last rector moved out in 2005. The rectory was sold and became Dairy Lane Dental Practice.
