Once Handforth became a Parish in its own right, a Vicarage was needed for the incumbent. Initially a semi-detached house at 6 Sagars Road was used …. In August 1913 the foundation stone of the present vicarage in Sagars Road was laid by Mrs Hawkins, who was the wife of the Vicar's Warden. This was undertaken with great ceremony and festivities. …..  The Church Commissioners directed that the Vicarage be constructed 'using only the best materials, and a thick bed of concrete should be placed under the walls'. The Handforth people went even further and paid for a 'small wash house' to be erected which cost them an additional £100. [St Chad’s Parish Church of Handforth 1899-1999]
