Set in the Medieval centre of Loughborough The Old Rectory building represents 800 years of the town’s heritage. Standing in its own grounds on Rectory Place on the edge of the modern town centre the Old Rectory represents a rare survival of a stone built 13th century manor house.
The home of the Rectors of All Saints Parish Church for most of its life it probably represents one of the oldest Rectories in the country. The building was rescued when what seemed to be an eighteenth and early nineteenth century house was being demolished in the 1960s.
The Old Rectory now houses a museum run by the Loughborough Archaeological and Historical Society.
