Some notes by the Reverend Henry Robert Whytehead in the booklet The Minster And Church Life In Warminster, published in 1911:
The Vicarage
Warminster Vicarage bears upon its front walling the initials J.L. and the date 1712. The initials are those of James Legertwood, the then Vicar. This worthy man appears to have been possessed of good taste in domestic architecture, but of execrable judgement in Church architecture, for though the Vicarage is a beautiful house, the Rev. James Legertwood was guilty of pulling down the ancient Gothic Nave of the Minster, and its Screen, and of building that part, which gave the Church for 150 years the character of being the ugliest one in the diocese. Next year the Vicarage will complete its 200th year.
