Statement of Interest

The building first appears on 1st edition OS map (1858) and is called the Parsonage, for the Chapel which lies to W. The chapel was opened for Episcopalian worship in 1853. This building was subsequently called the Mauldsheugh, until, in 1964, it first appears as the Glen. The present owner thinks that the property was a temperance hotel from between the wars.
