The size of the Old Rectory in Temple Grafton shows the status the Parish Church of St Andrew once had. A building in the garden of the Old Rectory was at one time the village Post Office, and the Post Box remains in the Rectory wall. In common with a lot of Parishes in the post war period, the vast property was sold off, and a new Rectory was built in the grounds of the old one. The last resident Rector was the Rev Peter Williams, who retired towards the end of 2000, since which time the "new" Rectory has also been sold.
