Description
The Old Parsonage is a late 17th-century house located on Little Moor Road in Longdendale. It is constructed of squared rubble with a graduated stone slate roof and brick chimney stacks. The house was originally double-depth with a central staircase. The central doorway has an arched head, likely dating from the 20th century, surrounded by stone. Three-light, double-chamfered stone mullion windows with hoodmoulds are situated on either side of the central doorway on both floors. A round-headed window is positioned centrally on the first floor. There are two axial ridge chimney stacks. The gables are partially rendered, and the rear windows have been largely altered. The interior retains some original beams, but is significantly altered. The site’s history includes a prior building sold in 1547 by Henry VIII to the Bishop of Chester, who then served as rector of Mottram.
