The History Of The Old Rectory



This Georgian Rectory has been home of the rectors since it was built in 1804, a grant was obtained from Queen Anne’s Bounty towards the new rectory and it’s first resident was Edward Tucker Steward. In 1874 an extension was built on to make it a more convenient and suitable residence.

The Old Rectory was requisitioned during the Second World War and the main part of it used as a hospital for American Soldiers. This was a time well recollected by one Wem lady who often used to slide down the banister of the splendid Georgian staircase when she worked there as a nurse.


The last rector resident in the Old Rectory was Percy R Turner who lived there from 1931, he purchased it from the church in 1961 and used it as the family home until it was sold in 1981 and converted into a restaurant, as the years went on bedrooms were made available. Unfortunately in 1991 it fell into disrepair and has remained closed for many years.




However, in 1996 a saviour came along and has spent several years restoring this Georgian/Victorian rectory back to it’s former glory, 2005 shows a stunning Old Rectory transformed into a Country house hotel consisting of 14 bedrooms, bar, drawing room, elegant restaurant and conservatory overlooking the beautiful 3.5 acres of grounds in which this listed building stands.
