Parsonages
«Parsonages packs a lot in across six chronological chapters, yet remains highly accessible. Indeed, it is an excellent book for anyone new to the topic. There is a brief explanation of what might first appear to be bewildering terms and phases: the distinction between a rectory and vicarage, appropriated livings, Tithe Commutation etc. There are over 70 colour illustrations – almost one per page – all of which provide helpful exemplars. Moreover, this book can help those whose appetites have been whetted by offering practical advice for research.»
Sarah Rose, The Local Historian
From the middle ages to the present day the houses of local clergy – parsonages, vicarages and rectories – have been among the most significant buildings in parishes throughout England. Architecturally some of the best and most fully documented domestic buildings, their history is that of the small and medium sized house, from medieval vernacular to the bespoke designs of leading Victorian architects and the more modest homes of today’s clergy.

«Dr Tiller’s book is an admirable brief survey of these important buildings and their occupants, from early times until the present day.»
