 The Reverend John Ellershaw built the new rectory in the 1870s . The last rector to occupy it was Lionel St Clair Waldy from 1907 to 1945 . It was then bought by Douglas Wills , who donated it and the rectory field to Winford Hospital as a convalescent home for 16 children . It was later used as a nurses ' home before being sold for private use . It is now split into several residential units .
