The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a house, originally built as a vicarage in 1796 for Rev Tyson. An extension was added to the east in the early 19th century, and the entire building was remodelled between 1835 and 1837 by Rev Erskine Neal, with a new south front and a west service wing added at that time. Later renovations occurred in the 20th century.

The north front and east wing are constructed of pale yellow-brown brick in a Flemish bond pattern, while the west wing and south front are of red brick in a double Flemish garden wall bond. Yellow brick stacks rise above the roof, which is covered in Welsh slate. The building follows a double-depth plan, with a two-room central entrance hall on the north front and matching wings to the left and right, and a similar arrangement on the south garden front.

The north front is originally symmetrical with three bays, the central bay slightly projecting. The main entrance features a four-panel door under a moulded lintel, a plain overlight, and a stucco cambered arch, flanked by a 12-pane sash window to the left and a tripartite sash with glazing bars to the right. First-floor windows are 12-pane sashes. An addition to the left has a single ground-floor 12-pane sash, and an addition to the right has a small 12-pane sliding sash with a coped parapet. All windows are set within flush wooden architraves with sills beneath stucco cambered arches. A bracketed gutter runs along the eaves, and the roof has stone-coped gables, corniced ridge, and end stacks.

The south front is comprised of a main three-bay section and a lower two-bay addition set back to the right. The main section has a central doorway with pilasters supporting an entablature and hood, housing a half-glazed panelled door and panelled reveal. A 16-pane sash window sits to the left beneath a cambered brick arch, and a ground floor canted bay window is situated to the right, with a full-height 12-pane central sash and 8-pane side sashes, all beneath a moulded cornice and hipped roof. First-floor windows are 12-pane sashes beneath cambered arches. The wing to the right has a central ground-floor French window with sidelights and glazing bars, along with a pair of 12-pane first-floor sashes, all beneath cambered arches. A lean-to is set back to the left, featuring a small single-pane casement.

Inside, a 19th-century staircase has a wreathed grip handrail, turned balusters, a newel post, and profiled cheek pieces. The upper hall has a moulded plaster cornice and a central circular roof light with a moulded surround and radial glazing bars, flanked by smaller circular loft hatches with similar surrounds. A pilastered marble chimney-piece and moulded plaster ceiling cornice are featured in the south-east drawing room, with a moulded cornice in the south-west room. A chimney-piece with paterae ornament and a moulded ceiling cornice is present in the first-floor south-west bedroom. There's a moulded cornice in the central south and north-east first-floor rooms. Several rooms have 19th-century panelled doors and panelled shutters to the south front. The style of the 19th-century stair light, carpentry, and cornices is similar to that found at The Old Vicarage, High Street, Luddington, and Eastoft Hall, Luddington Road, Eastoft.
