Ninety seconds on Old Rectory
This house stays shut, because it is let as a private home. See it from Broad Alley in a few minutes, as part of a walk behind St Peter's.
Standing in Broad Alley gives you the full view of the house. Start with the porch room, which juts out unevenly from the front, its steps spreading at the foot.
The living floor sits above a basement and is reached from outside. Big chimneys brace the gable ends, the windows sit right under the eaves, and the eastern roof is higher than the rest. It is a textbook example of early Bermudian building.
Then walk the alleys nearby: Old Maid's Lane, Taylor's Alley, Printer's Alley and Featherbed Alley. The Trust owns nine other houses in town that are seen from outside in the same way.
