Come and see the iconic Old Rectory
The Old Rectory was built in the 1730s by Reverend Benjamin Robertshaw. It was often the second son of the Lord of the Manor (a member of the Drake family) who was appointed as the Rector. The Rectory was sold in 1963 and has been a private house since then. Rectory Meadow, below the house, was in the past used for fetes and tobogganing – before the local Health Centre opened at the foot of the meadow in June 1989.
