The building was substantially altered in the 1890s when the incumbent, Sibson, added two big rooms on the right hand side, giving the vicarage a big drawing room.

Canon Edward Church, whose sons went as missionaries to Rwanda, organised numerous activities at the vicarage; the Boy’s Brigade used to meet regularly on the lawn.

Dr Gordon Simpson bought the house and renovated it. He acquired the porch from a rectory in Bookham, Surrey, where it was offered for sale.

The present vicarage (in the 1980s) was built in the garden of no.73.
