Loughborough, Leics (Parish Church Area)
Image: © David Hallam-Jones Taken: 7 Jul 2012
The ruins of two bays of a medieval hall (manor house) plus the surviving portion of what became part of the rectory of the adjacent 700 year old parish church. The ground floor of the roofed, house-like structure (14th century) is thought to have been the kitchen of the original rectory and the first floor of the same building was probably the priest's accommodation. Later on a huge two storey rectory for the rector (or vicar) of the parish church was built on the grassed area between the monkey puzzle tree and the bushes visible near the ruins of the two bays. "The Old Rectory" was demolished in 1962. The modern maisonettes beyond the perimeter fence are situated in Toothill Road.
