The Old Parsonage

The Old Parsonage is a mid-to-late 18th-century parsonage and school, later adapted as a house, with early 19th and 20th-century alterations. It is constructed of brick with a pantile roof and is arranged in an L-shape. The main north front has a symmetrical design of three bays and two storeys plus an attic. A 20th-century flat-roofed glazed porch now shelters the original 18th-century six-fielded-panel front door and its three-pane overlight. Replacement 20th-century casement windows are set within original segmental-arched openings with sills, and a wooden modillion eaves cornice runs around the building. The double-span roof has stone-coped gables with shaped kneelers, and end stacks, with the stack on the left having been rebuilt. A return elevation on the right features a French window within an architrave, with a blind box below, alongside 19th-century four-pane sashes to the ground and first floors and two 12-pane attic sliding sashes.

The interior retains an 18th-century open well staircase with ornate carved scrolled brackets; the balustrade has been rebuilt in the 20th century. A ramped moulded dado rail is also present. A first-floor room on the left has an 18th-century chimney-piece with an eared architrave, a pulvinated frieze bearing bay leaf ornament, and a moulded cornice. Sections of 18th-century fielded panelling from the first floor are now re-set in the kitchen. On the ground floor to the left, there is an early 19th-century reeded wooden cornice and a chimney-piece with a reeded surround and free-standing columns supporting a mantelshelf. The ground floor to the right features a reeded wooden cornice and six-fielded-panel doors in architraves, with fielded panel reveals. Some of these doors have applied beading and L-hinges. The roof structure exhibits pegged staggered butt-purlins. The upper hall shows traces of imitation marble blockwork wall painting. The attic comprises a series of small rooms that were formerly used as schoolrooms.
