The Old Rectory is the title of a historic spanking novel by an unknown author. It is one of the longest and most detailed works of boy spanking literature and is notable for two properties: On one hand, for a work of child spanking literature, "The Old Rectory" is definitely on the extreme side, featuring frequent and hard punishments (even for the time) and cruel and humiliating treatment in general. On the other hand, the novel is written in a delicate and sophisticated language that gives an excellent feeling for the thoughts, mentality and language of adults and boys in strict early 20th century England.

The protagonist of the story is Henry Perceval, a 12-and-a-half-year-old boy who, while his parents went for a trip to China, is given for a few months in the charge of the "Old Rectory" Academy — a small and, as he soon finds out, very strict institution for boys.
