Description

The garden walls of the Old Rectory date from the mid-19th century and are constructed partly of flint cobbles and partly on a brick base. They feature tiled capping, although part of the wall is missing at the corner of Russell Street. These walls are listed for their group value, particularly in relation to the Market Place and Penny's Lane.
