THE BORLEY RECTORY -

Borley Rectory was constructed near Borley Church by its rector , the Reverend Henry Dawson Ellis Bull in 1863, a year after being named rector of the church. The building was a large brick Rectory that replaced the rather earlier Georgian house built for Rev Herringham. It would eventually house his wife as well as fourteen children.

The church itself dates to the 12th century and the area received mention in the Domesday Book as having a manor house . Ghost-hunters like to quote the legend of a Benedictine monastery supposedly built in this area around 1362. According to legend, a monk from the monastery carried on a relationship with a nun from a nearby convent. After their affair was discovered, the monk was executed while the nun was bricked up alive in the walls of the convent. It was discovered in 1938 that this legend had no basis whatsoever in historical fact and seems to have been invented by the children of the rector to romanticise their rather ugly, recently-built, red-brick rectory. The story of the walling up of the nun was probably taken from a novel by Rider Haggard .
