The original location of this record, TF 6409 1617, fell in the middle to two buildings. The one to the east is known as The Old Rectory whilst the one to the west is known as the Rectory or 42 Rectory Lane.
In 2018, the location was updated to TF 6409 1617 which is the western building - 42 Rectory Lane and labelled as the Rectory. This is the location provided on the 1988 Listing description in error.
However, the Listing is for The Old Rectory, centered at TF 64137 16196, which is the eastern building and is clearly depicted on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map. The mapped location of this record and the National Heritage List for England entry has now been corrected.
