Nursing home
In 1941 Lady Carnarvon established a nursing home in The Glebe, a large property in Hadley Common.

The nursing home admitted maternity, surgical and medical patients at a cost of 8 guineas (£8.40) a week.  It had an operating theatre with modern equipment.

It closed in 1943 due to financial pressures.

Present status (February 2019)

In the early 1950s the property became Glebe House Nursing Home for NHS patients.  It closed in 1971.

Today it is Glebe House - a private residence.
