The Elmdon Rectory
This was the Rectory, built in 1803 by Isaac Spooner. His son William was the first occupant and he remained Rector for 54 years. He was the Archdeacon of Coventry and also held two other livings. His seventh child Catherine married A.C.Tait Headmaster of Rugby School, later to become the Archbishop of Canterbury. Living in the Rectory at the time of the 1851 census of Elmdon were nine members of the Spooner family, together with nine servants - a Butler, Housekeeper, Lady's Maid, House maid, two servants and three nurses.
In 1948 the building was sold and became private residences with a covenant that the title "Rectory" would not be used in the name for the building.
