Description

St Mary’s Presbytery, built around 1880, was likely designed by Hadfield and Son of Sheffield, the same architects who created the adjacent St Mary's church. A rear wing was added in the early 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick in stretcher bond, with black brick and painted stone dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof. It is rectangular in plan, with the later wing connecting to the church.

The exterior presents a balanced, asymmetrical design with two storeys and an attic. The front has a plinth with two black brick bands above. The main entrance is framed by a continuous quoined ashlar surround, featuring chamfered reveals and label stops. The door has rounded brackets above it, and a mullioned overlight with two quatrefoiled lights. To the left of the door is a single-light window, and to the right, three similar lights, all with single transoms, quatrefoiled top lights, and leaded panes. Two black brick bands mark the lintel level. Above the entrance is a recessed carved stone panel displaying the initials "SM" on a shield, beneath a bishop’s mitre. A three-light mullioned window illuminates the first floor, alongside a smaller single-light window. A gable above the first floor window features brick bands and a small quatrefoiled attic window within a quoined surround. A projecting stack to the left incorporates a carved bishop's head corbel at ground-floor level, ribbed chimney shafts, and a corbelled brick cap. The eaves feature an ovolo-moulded brick cornice. The roof has hips and gables, adorned with ornate wrought-iron finials.

The left return fronting Heneage Road is twin-gabled. The right section has a three-light window on each floor and a quatrefoiled attic window. The left section has a full-height canted brick bay with two-light and single-light windows, sill bands, and a hipped roof. The north front, facing the church, features a stack similar to the south front, but with a different head corbel; the entrance passage has 20th-century replacement glazing. The two-storey rear addition contains leaded casements, corbelled eaves, a hipped roof, and a lateral stack with diagonal shafts.

The interior was not inspected at the time of listing.

The presbytery, along with the surrounding garden walls and St Mary’s Church, forms part of a significant group of Victorian and Edwardian buildings, originally constructed on land provided by the Heneage Estate.
