Place & story
Two forms of assistance
Delvin’s glebe-house was built in 1815 with assistance from the Board of First Fruits, according to Samuel Lewis. The contribution consisted of a £400 gift and a £320 loan, two distinct forms of funding. In 1837 he recorded a glebe of thirteen and three-quarter acres, valued at £18 9s. 2d. annually. The account documents both the house’s initial financing and the land attached to the parish benefice. [2]
