Historic Environment Record entry
Listed building
This 1840s Rectory retains its historic character and some features, within its original formal garden setting.
Built as St Mary's Rectory, it is said by the Rev Philippe Guille (Rector 1838-1856).
The 1849 Godfray map shows the house and landscaped garden in place. Two-storey, three-bay, with detached outbuildings.
The interior of the house retains much of its original layout, with a central stair hall and spaciously proportioned rooms. Features include an elegant mahogany staircase; original four-panel doors with deep-set moulded architraves; and deep skirting in ground and first floor rooms.
St Mary Treasury
Described in the 1983 parish treasury as dating from the 1840s. 'It has a fine first floor drawing room. The trees in the garden are now recovering from the ravages of the German Occupation. Most of the limes are replacements planted after the war. Those along the roadside to the north were planted by the school children at about the same time.'
