Newchurch Old Refectory

The Old Rectory at Newchurch, now a private dwelling, was built in 1812. It is constructed of red brick with a slate roof and has a two-storey, three-bay main block, accompanied by a two-storey, two-bay wing to the south. Access is provided by three stone steps, featuring a wrought iron balustrade, leading to a Doric column doorcase surmounted by an open pediment. The doorcase contains a replaced radial bar fanlight and a small crest within the pediment, while the door itself comprises six fielded panels. The windows are recessed sash windows with glazing bars, stone sills, and flat rubbed skewback arches. The building has a timber eaves cornice with a lead gutter, a hipped roof with lead rolls, and gable stacks. Inside, original features include six-panel doors and a staircase with a cut and bracketed string, along with panelled window shutters.
