Wycliffe Old Rectory

Wycliffe Old Rectory is a rectory built in 1733. It is constructed from rendered and colour-washed stone with cut dressings and features a graduated stone slate roof. The building has a rectangular shape with projecting wings at each end of the south front and a north-east wing.

The south elevation has two storeys and consists of one central bay flanked by three bays on each side. There are seven steps leading up to a central Tuscan porch that encloses a renewed six-panel door with a three-pane overlight. On either side of the porch are 30-pane sash windows with segmental-arched heads, and above them are 12-pane sashes. The lower projecting wings each have steps leading up to a 32-pane French window, with a 16-pane sash window above. The inner returns of the wings have 12-pane sashes, some of which have been renewed. The roof is hip-ended, with the main block having a hipped roof on the right and a coped gable on the left, featuring a stack at the left end and three low ridge stacks. The four-bay right return shows 12-pane sashes on both floors. The tall rear elevation above the basement has scattered fenestration, including a tall arched stair window with intersecting glazing bars and three 16-pane sashes.

Inside, the rectory features fielded-panel doors in moulded doorcases with paterae, folding panelled shutters on H-hinges, moulded cornices, and a dogleg closed-string staircase with urn-on-vase balusters, square fluted newels, and a moulded handrail.

Notably, two first-floor rooms at the west end of the Old Rectory are now part of the West House. The house was built at the sole expense of Thomas Robinson, who served as rector from 1731 to 1769.
