The Glebe is probably the oldest surviving house in the Hutt Valley, New Zealand, [1] and was the first vicarage to be built in the Hutt Valley. The building is classified as a "Category I" historic place by Heritage New Zealand. [2]

Built in 1856 on land given to the Anglican church by Edward Gibbon Wakefield. The house was designed by William Corbett, a church warden for the Naenae district. At the turn of the 20th century a new vicarage was built, and the house was on sold to prominent Wellington architect Frederick de Jersey Clere. Clere renamed the house "The Glebe", which is an old term for land owned by the church. He also added on a southern wing extension to the house.

The building is a two-storey, timber weatherboard home with a gable roof - originally the roof was made from shingles. The window hoods aren't original, and an original exterior staircase has since been removed. [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Barrhill, New Zealand</span> Village in Canterbury, New Zealand

Barrhill is a lightly populated locality in the Canterbury region of New Zealand's South Island. It is situated on the Canterbury Plains, on the right bank of the Rakaia River, about 17 kilometres (11 mi) inland from Rakaia. It was founded by Cathcart Wason in the mid-1870s and named by him after his old home Barrhill in South Ayrshire, Scotland. Wason set it up as a model village for the workers of his large sheep farm. The population of the village peaked in the mid-1880s before the general recession initiated a downturn for the village. Wason had expected for the Methven Branch railway to run past Barrhill, but the line was built in 1880 on an alignment many miles away, which caused Barrhill population to decrease.
