Summary
Standing to the southwest of the the Old Rectory (NHER28554), this is its former barn, a brick building with a datestone of 1731, and the initials T. A., for Thomas Astley, the rector at the time. The barn was extended in 1853 (by a later Astley) to form a fire engine house, the parish fire engine having been kept in the church beforehand.
