Full Description
{1} The large Vicarage was built in 1844 in five acres of grounds taken from the glebe on the south side of the High Street. The architect was Samuel Sanders Teulon of London, the builder Richard Dunkley of Blisworth, and the cost £1,250 including fees. The house was sold in 1953 to Pianoforte Supplies Ltd, who were in need of additional office space, and replaced by the purchase of Highfield, formerly the home of CH Alsop. The former Vicarage, which was too close to PSL to be attractive as a private house, was later demolished.
