Rectory Farmhouse (courtesy Ann Disbury)

In 1252 John de Button, Rector of Ashbury, exchanged one acre of land “by rectory Court” for an acre elsewhere. In 1340 Sir Peter de Bath had a grant of an oratory, a small room or chapel set-aside for private prayer in his manor of Edwinstone. Although the term Rectory now applies to the modern farm building the “Court” was probably the building now known as “Trip the Daisy” (see previous photo).
