{8} By 1720 (1791?) Fotheringhay was a curacy and c.1720 the vicarage lay on the south side of the church, on part of the site of college. In 1806 there was a Rectory and Parsonage, property formerly of Fotheringhay College, as well as a Vicarage. By the 1880s a new vicarage had been constructed on the north side of the main road at the junction with the new Nassington road.
