Date:1906

Description:In 1698 Sir John Leveson-Gower granted a plot of land at the east end of the Ironmarket in trust for the benefit of the then curate of Newcastle-under-Lyme and his successors. A house and barn were built on the site which also had an extensive garden. Egerton Harding was the first tenant of the house. In 1854 the house, by then known as the rectory, was extended by the addition of a third story as the datestone reveals. In 1926 the rectory and site were sold. Since 1934 a new rectory has been situated in Seabridge Road.
