If you have an interest in Agatha Christie then you may be excited to know that you can walk in Agatha Christie’s footsteps since she frequently visited Heathcliff House, formerly Torre Vicarage. Agatha’s parents Frederick Miller and Clara Boehmer were friends with the Vicar and she often accompanied them to tea with him. Later Agatha used to visit and consult with the Reverend Harry Petty on the role of priests, bishops and on complex ecclesiastical matters within her novels. The family's friendship with the Vicar provided inspiration for writing the first full length Miss Marple novel "The Murder at the Vicarage", and she used the home at 16 Newton Road as the template for the vicarage in this story.
