Type and Period

VICARAGE (Early 13th century to Modern - 1219 AD (between) to 2050 AD (throughout))

Description

A vicarage was erected and endowed by Bishop William de Sancta Maria in 1219. The Chapman and Andre map of 1777 shows the parsonage sited immediately to the East of the Church of St Leonard (EHER 38670), and it is presumed that this marks the site of the medieval vicarage. The endowment of the vicarage was granted to Richard Lord Rich in 1539. The vicarage was still located next to the church in 1777, but had been moved by 1881 to Burnham Road. <1> <2>
