Description
Holy Name Presbytery is a presbytery for the Roman Catholic Church of the Holy Name, built in 1874 by Henry Clutton. It is constructed of orange brick with sandstone dressings and has slate roofs. The building has a roughly L-shaped plan, with the main range projecting towards the street and a re-entrant enclosed by a projected ground floor. Designed in a Neo-Tudor vernacular style, it features mullion-and-transom windows and a high parapet. The structure is mostly three storeys tall.
The single-storey projection facing the street includes a doorway on the right with a moulded surround. To the right of this, the set-back continuation in the re-entrant has windows with 12 and 8 lights, and a balustraded parapet runs around the entire building. The end wall of the three-storey main range behind the entrance block has a triangular chimney feature in the centre, with splayed corners and transomed windows. The south front features coupled six-light windows on all floors, and a high pierced parapet extends around the building. Attached to the end of this range is an early 20th-century single-storey stone link to the church, which encloses an extruded chimney stack.
The set-back wing on the north side includes a three-stage six-light stair window. The rear of the building has a four-window range with sill bands, a string course over the second floor, a plain parapet, and mostly six and four-light mullion-and-transom windows with hoodmoulds. There is a 20th-century addition at the north end. The presbytery forms a group with the Church of the Holy Name.
