rectory

It is described by the estate agent as a historic rectory and coach house in several acres of semi-moated gardens.

Bishop Sellin was born in Scotland where her father was an ordained minister and the family lived in the rectory.

Plans for the church hall, on Glebe Way, included a cafe, day nursery building, replacement rectory with detached garage, two outbuildings to provide a prayer room and substation, and bike storage.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether St. John the Baptist will ever use the rectory where Gutgsell was attacked again.

The family is now one of eight that have have found shelter at a rectory building at the Bethel AME Church in Boston’s Jamaica Plain neighborhood.
