The Vicarage ruins
0
It is uncertain when the vicarage was established at Dolm, but it was probably at the same time that the Church was founded. In the year 1800 the old vicarage was demolished in favour of a new statelier vicarage. The Priest lived here together with his family and their servants and even after the Church burned down in 1920 the Priest continued to live here. However, on the 7th of July 1963 the beautiful main house was destroyed in a fire. There was a wedding that day and it was the Priest’s own daughter who was getting married. The reception was being held in the vicarage and there was probably an overload on the electrics which caused a short circuit. There were not enough extinguishers at the vicarage, and the helpless wedding guests could only watch as the beautiful vicarage went up in flames. The only thing that now remains are the foundations.
