The Vicarage

The vicarage was once in Borden Hall until the Reformation. By 1713 the vicarage had moved to the street and believed to be on the site of the later Victorian Vicarage. Rev George Musgrave became vicar in 1838 and the old vicarage was not large enough for his family and so the new Vicarage pictured below was built. This vicarage was demolished in the 1960s, and gargoyles from it can be seen on a bungalow built on the site (Helen Allison).
