Warton Old Rectory

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

The remains of a late 13th or early 14th century hall built for the powerful rectors of Warton. The rectory features a large great hall and residential quarters. The rectory served not only a residence, but also a courthouse. Part of the medieval buildings are incorporated into the current vicarage.

The rectory is constructed of limestone rubble with sandstone dressing, and is composed of a great hall, service rooms, and porch. To the north of the rectory are buried remains of a back court.

The Old Rectory stands in the garden of the Victorian vicarage. Historical records dhow that there was a building here as early as 1304, known as Parsonage Court, and it may be that the first rectory was built in 1298.
