Relhan Collection : 318 Teversham Parsonage. SW view

Relhan, Richard, 1782-1844

Relhan Collection

<p style='text-align: justify;'><p>Teversham Rectory was built to replace an earlier parsonage in 1819 and so was very new when Relhan drew it. It has two storeys, white brick walls, slated parallel gabled roofs with chimney stacks at each end and sash windows, and it survives in this form (2020). The entrance at W end enabled the rector’s study to be close to the entrance, convenient for parishioners and less intrusive for the household. It was built by James Webster for the Rev John Brocklebank, rector 1817–43. Bradley and Pevsner describe it as ‘sober’ but it looks smart and spacious, especially with Relhan’s setting of lawn and trees. This building also appears in the background of the drawing of Teversham church (305), where the smokestack is evident. It is now a private house.</p><p>Bradley and Pevsner 2014; RCHME 1972</p></p>
