The Old Rectory

Kay Taylor describes the Old Rectory as follows:

Now a private home, the Rectory stands beside the church in its Gothicised Victorian splendour, having been renovated in 1841 by the Rev George Marsh.

See: Kay Taylor, Sutton Benger from Saxon Times to the Dawn of the 21st Century.

The Victoria County History also provides a brief overview of the history of the building (which changed from being a Vicarage to being Rectory in 1903).

A vicarage house was mentioned from the later 16th century. (fn. 143) It needed repairs in 1683. About 1783 The vicar's house, described as an illconstructed thatched hovel, was rebuilt. New principal rooms to the west and a conservatory to the south were added c. 1841 in Gothic style. The house was sold c. 1969.
