Old Vicarage Ambrosden Brick Chimney - Unique Chimneys and Chimney Pots on Waymarking.com

The Vicarage, a pleasant two-storied house with attics, stands next to the church. It is built of coursed rubble and ashlar, and has a tiled roof.
It replaced an older house, possibly the one built by Ashridge College soon after the ordination of a vicarage in 1336, when the old rectory house was ordered to be repaired.
This house was described in 1634 as being partly decayed, four years later the vicar, John Stubbings, rebuilt it at a cost of £800.
The date 1638 and the letters I.S.D. are inscribed on the east front of the present house, which is still largely a 17th-century building with some original windows and an original fireplace and a staircase. It had six hearths according to the tax returns of 1665.
In 1838 the vicar, L. G. G. Dryden, repaired the house, adding four rooms on the west side at a total cost of £2,000. He also furnished one of the rooms with oak panelling from the manorhouse at Merton
