Church House (Side View), Redmarley d'Abitot

This old house is by the side of the church - the path in the foreground would take us into the churchyard.

The property is believed to date from the 16th century, although the chimneys were not added until later. It has served as the Village Poor House (until 1834), the Bakehouse, and (until about 1960) the Post Office. It is now however a private dwelling.
