I admit to some confusion here. This building of c.1750 in a classical style, it is listed by Historic England as the former St John's Rectory (grade II* / list entry 1375975); the small church hall of 1881 to the right is also listed (II / 1385978). But the smaller 1892 building on the corner of Love Lane (which I didn't photograph) is also listed as a former rectory (II / 1375970). Clergy houses are getting smaller these days, but I can't see why a larger house would have been replaced with a smaller one in the peak of Victorian churchgoing and at a time of large families.
