In 1273 the Prior and Convent endowed a plot of land in Dalton-le-dale to build a vicarage. It was located on the North side of the public road , opposite East Farm, and built of limestone with a roof of both slates and tiles. In 1871 a beam was discovered with the date 1370 which is thought to indicate the year in which the vicarage was built. Considerable alterations were added and in 1670, the vicar, Thomas Sharpe, inscribed his name and the year on a stone arch over the entrance door. This stone can be seen in the church, In the 1800's the Dean and Chapter sold the vicarage. At onetime one of the front rooms was used as the village school, with tuition costing 3d a week.
In 1962 the owner of the house and land completely demolished the ancient building to the dismay of the local community.
