Wakefield Council has been inundated with complaints about the proposal to demolish The Old Vicarage and build a car park. The property, which dates back the 14th century, could be flattened before the end of this month if the scheme is approved. Part of the building is used as the headquarters of the local Tory party association. It is also occupied by small independent businesses who rent space in the property. Objections have been made over the potential loss of a heritage site.
The exact age of the property is uncertain but a vicarage was first designated by William de la Zouch, the Archbishop of York, in 1349. The Old Vicarage has long been rumoured to have links to a network of tunnels hidden beneath the city centre. The property is on the council’s list of buildings of local interest but does not have a national listing with English Heritage.
