Notes about this historic site
1 The only reference to the Vicarage, presumably built in the 1850’s as it was attached to St John’s Church which was built in 1852, is on the 1886 OS map.
2 Nothing else could be discovered about the building – even when it was destroyed – and a modern housing estate has been built over it. There is a road on the new estate called Vicarage Gardens.

Comments
The vicarage would have been demolished in the late 1960s as the five houses of the ‘housing estate’ were built in 1969. There isn’t a road as such called ‘Vicarage Gardens’ as the houses (except no. 1) front Rouncil Lane so the Vicarage Gardens name is a means of providing an address for the houses which are located before 1 Rouncil Lane.
