Seddon’s commission also included a rectory which was built near the church in 1867 (later renamed All Saints House and put to different uses). Railings were initially installed along the street boundary to the site, but these were replaced by the current churchyard boundary wall in 1895 with the lychgate added in 1933. <2>
