The Rectory

The original "Old" Rectory was built by the Rev Robert Wedgwood who was Rector of Dumbleton from 1850 until 1881. It was eventually demolished and a new house now occupies its site in Nutmeadow. A comprehensive history of the Rectory has been complied by Adrian and Cassandra Phillips who kindly provided this excellent summary shown in the document below and includes a postscript dated 2026.
