Full Description

{2} The Rectory of Thrapston was granted to the Abbey of Bourne at its foundation, but the abbot only ever drew a pension from the Rectory, never instituting a vicarage. This arrangement was in place in 1254 and persisted until the dissolution. The Rectory was thus held directly by the priest responsible for Thrapston church. In 1849 the Rectory House was described as 'a good commodious residence' standing in the principal street.
