The Sanctuary Society describes a full remodeling of a rectory preserving its traditional buffet and Wedgewood palette while updating dining and kitchen areas. New birch cabinetry, yellow walls, upgraded laundry, and a sunlit, accessible layout improve function. Exterior work naked brick restored, windows replaced, turrets repaired, and new waterproofing finished the project.
Nice pieces of work survive as cornices are preserved. Changes in the church home could suit any sound old residence. The cost of reconditioning, as shown in the rectory, appears financially justified.
