This picture shows the Rectory in about 1907 when it was occupied by the Reverend the Honourable Wingfield Stratford Twisleton-Wykeham Fiennes who was Rector from 1880-1910. In those days it boasted a conservatory, but other than that, the exterior is little changed. The gardens were remodelled in the 1960s by the new owner, but as you can see, have always been very pleasant.

WS Twisleton-Wykeham Fiennes was the fourth son of the 14th Baron Saye and Sele, and was a typical example of a younger son of an aristocratic family going into the church. The Two Villages Archive Trust has copies of his parish magazines from 1893-7, which reveal a kindly, if authoritarian, man who loved his parish. His accounts of the happenings in the parish are an invaluable record of life here in the late nineteenth century.
