As a predominantly Scots Presbyterian township, the church was an important institution and considerable effort was expended by the parishioners to house the minister in a suitable manner. The trees surrounding the house are of historical significance as their planting was carried out by the parishioners to beautify the grounds. Criterion A There are few nineteenth century manses in the study area, and some have been relocated. 17 Valley Road maintains a connection to the church it is associated with despite being some distance away.
