Notes about this historic site
1 To the E of the farmhouse at Glebe Farm are traces of a rectangular moat, which within living memory was partly filled with water and may mark the site of the grange or manor house of the Priors of Maxstoke.
2 To the E of the farm are two parallel drainage ditches, which may have been mistaken for the remains of a moat. There is nothing else there to suggest one.
