Place & story
Building and reducing the ground rent
Samuel Lewis recorded that Terryglass’s glebe house was erected in 1816 with assistance from the Board of First Fruits: a £450 gift and a £50 loan. He also listed a separate £450 payment towards reducing the rent of its fifteen-acre glebe to forty shillings per acre in the older currency. These sums served different purposes: the first pair assisted the house’s construction, while the other payment concerned the cost of holding its land. [2]
