PERSONAL MEMORY
Follow the path from Village Lane (top-centre), over the Washington Wagonway, and continue South to pass the East side of Glebe Farm.
Continue on this footpath when it turns West to Oxclose Burn. Note the trees around The Burn. That's Oxclose Dene.

The Farm Buildings were to the right (North) of this Tree. It stood in the car park for many years before its removal.

The Location of Glebe Farm
Location identified by superimposing an old map over a modern map.
Note the Car Park road junction, just south of the Cross.
WASHINGTON GLEBE FARM
Glebe Farm buildings were centred around the white cross in The Galleries Shopping Centre car park.
Glebe: Land that provided income for a Church and its Rector - in this case, Holy Trinity.
