Description
St Oswald Vicarage is a vicarage built in 1824, with parts dating back to around 1300. The building features squared, coursed limestone on the front and a slate roof. It has a symmetrical design with a central entrance and gable stacks, standing two storeys high with three bays and chamfered quoins. The windows are sashed with glazing bars, set in plain stone surrounds, and there is a sill band on the first floor. The front door is framed by a plain stone surround and has a moulded cornice hood supported by fluted console brackets. The rear wing, believed to date from around 1300, includes a first-floor east wall window with a two-light design featuring cusped Y-tracery, flanked by two narrow chamfered lights. On the ground floor, there is a window with a chamfered surround. The north wall has a cusped lancet window on the first floor. A post-war extension is present but is not considered of special interest.
