History of the Old Rectory

Listed Building

House, formerly rectory. C12-C13 aisled hall with early mid C14 west crosswing. Alterations of the late C16 or early C17. Timber framed, clunch rubble and dressed clunch. Tiled roofs. T-plan. Aisled hall timber framed with stone outer walls. Tiled roof with C16-C17 brick ridge stack. … The house was probably conveyed to Kings College, Cambridge in 1457. The alterations of C17 may well have been made by Rev. Fogge Newton (d.1612) Provost of Kings and Rector of Kingston. (Historic England)
