NZ1139 : The Old Vicarage, Tow Law

taken 15 years ago, near to Tow Law, County Durham, England

The Old Vicarage, Tow Law
The Old Vicarage, Tow Law
This house is shown as "The Parsonage" on old OS maps. Assuming it is associated with the church of St. Philip & St. James, it will probably be circa 1869 when the church was consecrated by Bishop Charles Baring. The Bishop was related to the Baring family associated with the now demised Barings Bank.

The church project itself struggled financially at the time so it seems unlikely that a substantial Parsonage would have been built simultaneously.

If you know more of the history I would love to hear from you.
