Set in the Medieval centre of Loughborough, The Old Rectory building represents a rare survival of a stone built 13th century manor house. Today it stands in its own grounds on Rectory Place on the edge of the modern town centre.
The building was home to the Rectors of All Saints Parish Church for most of its life and probably represents one of the oldest Rectories in the country.
The Old Rectory now houses a museum run by the Loughborough Archaeological and Historical Society.
Through seven centuries, the original 13th century manor house has been modified and added to.
The original building was given to the church in 1228 to become a rectory, and the drawing to the right is a reconstruction of the rectory as it might have appeared in the 14th century.
The remains of that early building were rescued when what seemed to be an eighteenth or early nineteenth century house was being demolished in the 1960s.
