The Rectory, which overlooks the Parish Church is considered to be the finest example of Georgian architecture in the town centre, having been erected for the Reverend Samuel Stead in 1744, replacing an earlier parsonage. It was used as an Army Billet during WWII. It was the home to Rectors and Bishops until 1965 but the house is now part of the Premier Lodge Hotel Group.
