The Old Rectory at Bottesford (SK 806 390) is listed by Jewry Wall Museum as a Site of Archaeological Interest of possible Post-Medieval age. The building is of early 18th Century age (Queen Anne), with later additions. However, it is known that a number of buildings on the site were pulled down in the 19th Century and also in the 1980s, and some of these may well have been older than the C18th house.
The museum also recorded a medieval inscribed stone at the Rectory.
