Rathmichael glebe house (Glebe townland)

Glebe house

Glebe house said to date from the early 17th century, on the site of a dwelling at Glebe mentioned in the 1641 depositions; Ball records that Simon Swayne, vicar of Bray, built a house on the Rathmichael glebe before 1641. Wikipedia's claim that Swift wrote part of Gulliver's Travels here is unverified.
