[1] The Old Rectory was described as "an exceptionally fine timber-framed house" by Nikolaus Pevsner.

[1][3] Sir Thomas Fytton (Fitton), of nearby Gawsworth Old Hall served as Baguley's patron,[4] and may have helped to finance the rectory's construction.

[5] The house was restored first in c.1724 by rector William Hall, and then famously the second time in 1873 by the architect Richard Norman Shaw.

Historic England describes the building as "one of the best preserved medium-sized houses of the period in Cheshire, particularly valuable for the survival of the open hall".
