Abstract:		 A desktop study was undertaken in advance of an application for planning consent. The evidence indicated that the site was probably agricultural land until the 17th century when the farm known as 'Ashley-Barnes' was built close by. The house was refronted in a Classical style and enlarged by 1746 and was renamed 'Ashley Court' by the 1760's. The mansion was demolished in the late 1870's and the grounds were subdivided into building plots. The south-eastern most plot was acquired by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners of the Church of England as a suitable site for a rectory for the vicar of the new neighbouring parish of St. Werburgh. The rectory was built in 1878-9 and was the home of successive vicars of St. Weburgh's Church and their families over the next 70 years or so until it was old in the late 1940's. For a few years it was used as an old people's home, but by 1956 it had become a hotel (from 1973 known as the 'Ashley Court Hotel'. [Au(adp)]
