Full Description
9 February 1982. Visit. Old Rectory grounds.
Earthworks reported by owner at west end grounds resemble a hollow way running from west a few metres but then abruptly stopping at the raised lawn and turning north then east for a short distance. This roughly parallels the boundary of now vanished enclosures shown within grounds on (S1). Old course of road? to south, or simply garden earthworks? Rectory itself is yellow and red brick building of about 1850, much altered in early 20th century, but in coach house behind, which seems slightly earlier than house extended about1900, is a fine reused roll-moulded beam of about 1530 now used to support a cartshed lintel. Owners say 'many large old beams' exist below the floorboards in the house. Grounds contain two wells, northern now a septic tank. By southern is a Home Guard pill box, brick, rectangular. Concrete roof, small iron framed windows at eaves.
