Abstract: |
The Old Rectory lies within an unusually sophisticated complex of moats that reflects the importance of the site in Middle Ages, when Thorndon Rectory formed a small manor in its own right. The present house is a grade II-listed Gault brick building of circa 1820 with a 16th century timber-framed rear wing. By 1840 the majority of the 78 acres of glebe land was leased but the Rector held a small arable farm of 25 acres in hand. The barn to the west of the site is an early-19th century timber-framed and pantiled structure which may well be contemporary with the late-Georgian refurbishment of the house, although many timbers show evidence of re-use. Its unusually sophisticated layout combines a normal three-bay barn which adjoined the Rector's fields to the west with a coach house and granary facing his Rectory to the east. The building was provided with its own separate access track from the High Street, approximately 250 metres south of All Saints church... |
