The Vicarage

The Vicarage is a house dating to 1898, designed by Ernest Newton. It is constructed of hammer-dressed buff sandstone with ashlar detailing, and has a Kerridge stone-slate roof with three stone chimneys. The architectural style is Free Tudor. The building has a rectangular plan, and stands two storeys high with an attic. The north front features a mix of one, two, three, or four-light chamfered stone mullioned windows, with a two and three-light mullioned and transomed window in the upper storey. A projecting moulded band runs along the first floor, with a three-storey element towards the left, which is under a gable and houses the staircase. A solid segmental door hood provides cover to a chamfered segmental headed doorcase, which contains a studded seven-board door. A central chimney is decorated with a cross under a projecting band and three lozenge-shaped raised panels. The south front displays a more ordered pattern of windows, with a gabled bay featuring three heart-shaped raised panels. The interior is plain, featuring a staircase with trellis work instead of balusters. The fire surrounds are in a more Georgian style than Tudor.
