1 The only reference to the Vicarage, presumably built in the 1850's as it was attached to St John's Church which was built in 1852, is on the 1886 OS map.
2 Nothing else could be discovered about the building - even when it was destroyed - and a modern housing estate has been built over it. There is a road on the new estate called Vicarage Gardens.
