Place & story
The glebe house near Drumcree
The former rectory at Kilcumny is a two-storey house above a partly raised basement. The architectural inventory dates it to about 1811 and records a £450 Board of First Fruits loan in Lewis’s account. Its 2006 survey noted a doorway reached by stone steps, cut-stone pilasters and a fanlight patterned like a spider’s web. Replacement windows were also recorded, distinguishing the entrance details from later changes to the house. [2]
