Appraisal
Built in 1814 at a cost of £821, this glebe house was also the birthplace of the astronomer Charles Jasper Joly who was born in 1864. It has retained much of its original form. It forms an interesting group of ecclesiastical structures with the neighbouring Saint Catherine's Church (Tullamore).
