The Old Rectory, Festival Way
The house is now owned and used by LB Sutton. Early C18, Queen Anne style exterior. There have been suggestions from evidence in the basement of this property that a C16 building may have preceded it. First recorded clerical occupant was Rev. William Hollier circa 1726.

The notice at the base of the tree says: This London Plane tree...is the tallest known in Britain and is one of the very few trees of any kind to exceed both 120ft in height and 20ft in girth. The age of the tree...is likely to exceed 200 years. I think the record is also claimed elsewhere in UK (and the whole issue is completely eclipsed by the Californian Sequoias), but it's a fine tree in a beautiful location.
