Summary
The Rectory dates to 1827 but was extended in 1839. The lower courses of the brick walls are in English bond with traces of diaperwork, suggesting the rectory may be the rebuilding of house dating to around 1600. The boundary wall around the ground is constructed from 17th century bricks and includes a 19th century brick pulpit. This was used by Reverend W. Haslam, rector 1853-71, an Evangelical preacher whose congregations were too large for the church so met in meadow beyond.
