The Old Vicarage
Parts of this lovely old
house may be late 17C, and some early 18C with later additions. At one time
this was the Dower House to Faringdon House, but then it was purchased by the
Church to make a better home for the vicar. It was sold by them a few years ago
when a modern vicarage was built on the eastern edge of the town.
All
Saints' Church see separate page Church Street
Church Street has some lovely old houses and cottages.
At
the end of the churchyard there are the old gatehouses belonging to the
original Faringdon House, and parts of these are timber framed with brick
infill. In the 19C a large stone barn stood in the top corner of the
churchyard, it is said that the barn was taken down and rebuilt at Church Path
Farm; the size and shape of that barn fits in with the story.
The
large stone house facing the church was the original vicarage, now converted to
flats. A large old sundial can still be seen on the rear elevation.
