The Hermitage was a large house provided by the Standish Family for catholic priests who served their chapel at nearby Standish Hall from about 1838, and from 1884 at nearby St Marie's Church.
In 1908 it was replaced by the new presbytery adjoining the church. This fine building was then allowed to fall into disrepair.
