Fletchers House was the old Vicarage, wholly or partly rebuilt in 1707. The architecturally stunning south
front of Fletcher's - sadly long lost to view - dating from the late 1400's, and contemporary with the
much acclaimed St Anthony's on the other side of the Churchyard.

John Fletcher, the English dramatist was born in Rye, Sussex, the third son of a clergyman who later
became a Bishop of London. Fletcher collaborated with several playwrights including Shakespeare, Beaumont, Massinger and Rowley.
