New Vicarage at Minsterley
The existing Vicarage, a large Victorian structure, was despite previous reductions in size becoming uneconomically viable to be retained by The Diocese in terms of day to day running costs/energy consumption and maintenance.
A decision was therefore taken to build a new Vicarage within the grounds of the existing with the new house to be sympathetic to the existing but built to a high specification layout and accommodation in accordance with Church Commissioners guidelines. The resultant property, as well as reflecting the architecture of the existing, is very energy efficient benefiting from under-floor heating driven by air source heat pump and solar hot water and pv electric panel installation.
