Full Description
This substantial house, in 6 acres of ground close to the Church but distant from the village, was built as a rectory in 1865. It is two-and-a-half storeys high, built of brick with stone dressings, and on a scale to indicate the social position of a 19th century rector. It ceased to be used as a rectory in the late 1920s and was bought by Nottingham Education Committee for use as a youth centre; when neglect caused it to fall into disrepair they abandoned it. In 1971 it was bought by the Association of Ukrainians in Britain, and restored as a retirement home. (1)
