HER Number:MDV114828
Name:Outbuildings adjoining Glebe Farm, Widecombe

Summary

Although variously modified and altered over time, the essential, agricultural character of these several buildings is well preserved, including their mostly uncluttered roof slopes and the general absence of openings in their walls. The minimal overhang at the eaves and the use of slate to protect the verges are features worthy of note, while the stonework of ‘Parson’s Barn’ is particularly interesting in providing evidence of several stages in its development.
