Rectory, Hall and Buildings of St Marys Church, Handbridge

The Rectory, hall, and buildings of St Mary's Church in Handbridge are a substantial parsonage house and associated structures built around 1890. Designed by Grayson and Ould, it was likely funded by the Duke of Westminster. The buildings are constructed of red brick with pargeting and feature brown clay tile roofs.

The exterior consists of two storeys and an attic, with a double fronted layout that includes a former hall and a service wing on the right. The entrance features a complex oak-panelled door set within a brick pilaster case, topped by a large shell hood supported by ornate brackets. On either side of the door are double-transomed small-pane casements. The projecting wings display an irregular pattern of windows. A secondary door is located on the right side.

A moulded brick string course runs along the first floor, and above the entrance is a mullioned and transomed 5-light small-pane oriel window. The gablets are pargeted, and there are corbelled corner pilasters. Each wing has a 4-light mullioned and transomed casement window, with frames that project from the wall surface. The front gables of each wing are also pargeted and feature a bull's-eye window in a brick surround. The roof slopes down to the eaves of the central bay, which includes a dormer with two 6-pane lights beneath a pargeted gable. Shaped red-brick chimneys adorn the structure, while the left side, which has a projecting chimney, is relatively simple in design.

At the rear, there are double oak doors with a fanlight set under a basket arch, flanked by large 2-storey canted 5-light bay windows on each side. Above the doorway is a nearly flush 12-pane sash window. The projecting secondary right wing, which formerly housed the church hall, features a round-arched oak door on the left, a shaped front gable, and three camber-arched sash windows along with a bull's-eye window. The interior has not been inspected.
