Glebe of Hungar's Parish is a historic glebe house located at Franktown, Northampton County, Virginia. It was built sometime between 1643 and 1745, and is a 1 1/2-story, brick, structure with gable roof, dormers, and two interior end chimneys. It was the official residence of the ministers of Hungar's Parish from 1745 until 1850.[3] The Glebe is not actually in Franktown but about 10 miles southwest on the shores of Chesapeake Bay.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.[1]
