Description
St Alban's Presbytery is a presbytery built around 1850, designed by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin. It is constructed from coursed and squared rubble with a Welsh slate roof and is designed in the Gothic style. The building is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical layout, featuring a gable that faces the street and a canted full-height bay on the inner return to the right. There is a doorway in a lean-to porch that connects the presbytery with the Church of St Alban to the right. The gable includes a 2-light mullioned and transomed window on each floor, topped by a steep gable with a trefoiled dormer. The canted bay has a half-pyramidal roof and also features a 2-light mullioned window on each floor, with a foiled dormer window above. The building has an axial stack and a gathered chimney on the right-hand return.
