Type and Period (1)
- VICARAGE? (17th Century to 19th Century - 1600 AD? to 1899 AD)
Description
During path restoration work, substantial stone footings for a rectangular buiding 15m in length and 5m in width were uncovered 130m south of the Church. Documentary evidence suggests that this might be the site of the vicarage. A Diocesan licence was obtained to remove the building in 1732. However, building seems to have remained as a folly throughout he 18th century and is shown in an engraving by J C Nattes in the early 1800s. (1)
