This 17th-century rectory is a Grade II* listed building featuring a mix of Tudor and Georgian architectural styles, with a striking facade of red brick and limestone ashlar, adorned with ornate chimneys, mullioned windows, and a central pedimented doorway.
Such a nice atmosphere here! I like to imagine from the ruins what this family home was like, not a big area but if ur into history worth a visit. No cost to wander round
Beautiful setting, but I wish there was a bench to sit on and enjoy such a peaceful place
Great stop to see the old rectory. Parking can be difficult but it's pretty much in the village centre so it's easily accessible. Information signs there to tell you about the history of the ruins. One large building with several rooms and features to see. Also a nice grass area at the back. Very well maintained. A hidden Gem
This is a small ruined building with a few information boards. You can park in the street and there's no entry fee. Its a half hour visit at most, suggest you have a walk at Warton Crags round the corner which have spectacular views then find a tea shop.
First English Heritage i have visited in the last 3 years. It was tucked away between a tow of houses opposite the church. We probably spent a max of ten minutes here. There is little to see other than the walled ruins of the old rectory. Impressive in terms of the thickness of the wall and the fact it has survived so so long. It will still be here in 500 years
Interesting little place. Fine for a brief visit. Free (for all) English Heritage car park up the hill 159 MTRS from the entrance. Car park clearly signed. Car park also allows access to Warton Crag, pleasant hiking area and nature reserve
On-site services
Good for kids
