Glebe House and Gallery

Churchill, County Donegal

A stately home located near Churchill, County Donegal

Originally known as St Columb�s, the 1828 Regency-style house is decorated with William Morris textiles, and collections of Islamic and Japanese art. The full collection includes three hundred works by leading twentieth-century artists such as Picasso and Kokoshka. Irish and Italian artists are especially well-represented.In 1981, Derek Hill donated St Columb�s, its contents and the gardens to the Nation. Hill�s studio and guesthouse were transformed into the Glebe Gallery displaying items from the Derek Hill Collection as well as providing a location for travelling exhibitions. The house and gardens are displayed in an informal manner, as though Derek Hill was still in residence.
