context_page_description: Glazebrook House is a building of historical significance in South Brent, Devon. Part of the house was built in about 1650 and was successively added to until it became the present structure. It was the residence of several notable people until 1972 when it was converted to a hotel. Today it is still a hotel which provides accommodation and restaurant facilities and caters for special events.
context_section_description: During the 1870s the house was sold to Gage John Hodge (1837-1892). Hodge was born in 1837 in Pennycross. His father was William Chapell Hodge a very wealthy banker. Gage also was a partner in the banking firm Hodge and Co. which later became Barclays Bank. In 1867 he married Caroline Charlotte Coker who was the daughter of Louis Coker of Bicester House in Oxford. In 1875 his father died and left him a large inheritance. The couple had one son and two daughters. In 1892 Gage died and left Glazebrook House to his wife Caroline. She remarried in 1894 Major Richard Hall Green (1850-1913) of Aston Hall, Aston on Clun. The couple lived at Glazebrook House until his death in 1913. She remained there for several years and then the Cholmondeley family became the residents. 
  George Vere Hugh Cholmondeley was born in 1871. He was the son of Lord Henry Vere Cholmondeley. He was a very wealthy man and owned numerous estates in Cheshire. After he died in 1925 the Brunskill family became the owners.
  Hubert Fawcett Brunskill (1873-1951) was born in 1873. His father was William Fawcett Brunskill who owned Buckland Tout Saints in Devon. His mother was Annie Elliot, daughter of Samuel Elliot of Mount Galpine, Devon. His father William died in 1875 when he was only two years old and his mother Annie remarried. Her new spouse was Edward Irwin of Derrygore in Ireland. Unfortunately he died two years later in 1880 and she returned with her young children to live at Buckland-Tout-Saints. In 1896 Hubert married Hilda Turner, daughter of William Barrow Turner of Ponsonby Hall, Cumberland. He inherited Buckland-Tout-Saints when he came of age and he and Hilda lived there for many years. The couple had one son and one daughter. In about 1920 due to financial difficulties they decided to sell Buckland Tout Saints. They then lived in Porlock for some time and later bought Glazebrook House. 
  Hilda died in 1940 and in 1945 the house was advertised for sale. It was bought by naval commander Algernon Edmund Penrice Penrice-Lyons, the youngest son of Sir Algernon McLennan Lyons, Commander in Chief of Plymouth Naval Base and Admiral of both the Pacific and American Fleets, and relation to Elizabeth Bowes Lyons, Queen Mother (who, it is said, visited her cousin at Glazebrook during his ownership). After he died in 1969 the house became a hotel.
