The object of the Rectory Cottages Trust is 'to preserve Rectory Cottages for the benefit of the people of Bletchley.' The building dates from 1475 and is listed II*. The Trust members all live locally and are responsible to the Charity Commission.

We welcome all sorts of clubs and societies to have their meetings in the Cottages.

What we have to offer you.

1. The Porch. The key unlocks clockwise and vice versa. Inside, there is a stable door on the right which gives entry to the office and the front and back rooms.
The stable door can be used as a ticket office to take admission money.

2. The Hall is 9m (30ft) long, 6m (20ft) wide and 7m (25ft) high. There are 50 black seats which are 'one-hour-comfortable'. The chairs link together in rows from the left side only: if you try to undo them from the right you will break them.
The Hall will hold 50 people comfortably and 70 at a crush. Always leave room to get out of the Hall in emergency: avoid putting chairs or tables across the doors. There is an emergency light over the main door if the power fails.
There is off-peak underfloor heating at night and at weekends. Please do not touch the thermostats: it will make no difference and may leave the place cold for the next day.
Additional heat may be had from four fan heaters which puff hot air around the floor. Convector heaters are no use in the Hall as the hot air goes straight up into the roof. If you use more than four heaters in the Hall you will blow the fuse.
In the winter when the underfloor heating is on, the Hall stays warmer if you leave the curtains drawn together. In the summer it is cooler if you leave them apart: there is a blue-and-white notice inside the porch door to tell you when the heating is on.
If you want to show slides or films, use the projector stand in the office and shine the slides onto the white wall at the other end. This saves bringing a stand and a screen. You will need a lens of at least 100mm focal length; a standard slide will show up 3m (10ft) by 2m (6ft).
Please stack the chairs at the end of meetings. The chairs stack four high.
