Built as St Andrews Parsonage House, architect William Dymock Pratt (1854–1916), for Rev Walter Wanstall. Planning was approved in February 1887. (Cross street was laid out 1873 to 1895). In WWII there was a public air raid shelter for 50 people here. St Andrew’s Church was demolished in 1968 and the parsonage became a private house. Occupants include; 1894 both Rev Wanstall and Rev Truman are listed here; 1897-1913 Rev Canon J E Truman; 1919 Rev Robert Walker Watt; 1965 George B Barnes. The electricity sub station remains, with a new roof, but the house was demolished about 1990 to make way for 1-16 Vicarage Court.
