Fulbourn - Former All Saints' Vicarage, Pierce Lane 2014-03-10

This is the best photograph that I could get without trespassing of a building which is of more historical than architectural or picturesque interest as it was built in 1859, to designs of Richard Reynolds Rowe, to replace an earlier vicarage even though All Saints' church had collapsed in 1766. Fulbourn, like Swaffham Prior, had until then two churches (All Saints and St Vigor's) standing in one churchyard; following the collapse of All Saints, an act of 1775 required the two incumbents to officiate in St Vigor's on alternate weeks (unless they agreed otherwise) and the two benefices were not united until 1876. All Saints' vicarage was then let from 1881 and sold in 1892 with its 7 acres of grounds, becoming known as Field House. [www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=18826]
