Parsonages draws on the evidence of architecture, official documents, private records, literary accounts and contemporary and modern images to build a picture of parsonages and their occupants. It also includes a section on tracing the history of a parsonage From the middle ages to the present day parsonages have been amongst the most significant dwellings in every kind of British community. Their roles have been wide and varied. Architecturally they are important and unusually well-documented, including examples of domestic architecture ranging from medieval vernacular buildings to the custom house designs of leading architects of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to the more modest homes of today's clergy. Parsonages are important not only as buildings but for the part they, and their occupants, have played in the life of local communities and in their links with the wider world. The parsonage, a hub of activity and connections, a place of change and continuity, provides fascinating historical insights both general and local.

From the Middle Ages to the present day, parsonages--vicarages, rectories, and later manses, presbyteries, and chapel houses--have been among the most significant dwellings in every kind of British community. Their roles have been wide and varied. Architecturally important, and ranging from medieval vernacular buildings to the bespoke house designs of leading architects of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, to the more modest homes of today's clergy, parsonages are important not only as buildings but for the part they--and their occupants--have played in the life of local communities, and in their links with the wider world. The parsonage, a hub of activity and connection, a place of change and continuity, provides fascinating historical insights both general and local. This study draws on the evidence of architecture, official documents, private records, literary accounts, and contemporary and modern images to build a picture of parsonages and their occupants. It includes a section on tracing the history of a parsonage.
