Vicarage to Church of St Philip and St Paul. 1888. Coursed sandstone rubble with freestone dressings, slate roof. Eclectic style with some Gothic features. L-plan with gabled wing projecting to right. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys plus cellar and attics; 3-window range. The outer bays are gabled, with a sill band and string course to ground floor, and steeply-pitched coped gables with ball finials. The centre has a 2-centred arched doorway approached by a flight of 4 steps offset to the left. The arch is chamfered in 3 orders, and has a hoodmould which links at the apex to a quatrefoil on the string-course, is flanked by trefoil-headed lancets, and runs out to the left where it drops to meet the coping of the left retaining wall of the steps; these short walls have rectangular terminal piers with pitched coping, and the wall to the left is enriched with trefoiled blind arcading. The bay to the left has 2 1/1 sashes at first floor with a chamfered mullion with enriched head between them. Smaller but similar sashes to the attic. One 1/1 sash above the doorway. The gable-end of the wing to the right has a 2-storey canted bay window with single and paired 1/1 sashes on each floor, and a hipped roof. Tall corniced chimney off-set to right on front slope of roof, similar ridge chimney to left. The left return wall has a prominent canted bay window to the front bay, with polygonal roof, a smaller rectangular bay window to the rear bay, and above and between these a single-light window at first floor and a gabled half-dormer to the attic. Single-storey service wing (or former stable) to rear of this end. INTERIOR: not inspected.
