The Old Vicarage The Old Vicarage Lodge

The Old Vicarage and The Old Vicarage Lodge are two houses that were originally a rectory built in 1829, as indicated by a datestone on the right side. The building was designed by David Thorpe of Kingston upon Hull for Rev Charles Sheffield and has undergone some alterations in the 20th century. It is constructed of grey gault brick in Flemish bond, with red brick at the rear, and features ashlar cills, gable coping, and chimney cornices. The roof is made of Westmoreland slate, and there is a wooden porch with an ashfelt roof.

The Old Vicarage, the main house, is two storeys high with an attic and has three bays arranged symmetrically. The central entrance features the original part-glazed panelled door set in a panelled reveal with an architrave. A later trellis porch with a hipped roof covers the entrance. The windows are tripartite with sashes that have glazing bars, separated by pilasters that support a moulded cornice. The first-floor sashes, also with glazing bars, are set under low cambered arches, with decorative ironwork grilles on the two outer windows. The mansard roof includes two sloping dormers with 12-pane sliding sashes in architraves, and the gables are coped with end stacks that have cornice bands and square chimney pots.

The Old Vicarage Lodge, which is the lower two-storey section to the left, has three first-floor windows. A round-headed entrance was added to the right of centre in the 1940s, featuring an internal porch and a panelled door in an architrave. There are two sashes with glazing bars to the left and one to the right, with small inserted sashes at each end. Most windows have cambered arches, except for the first-floor right window, which is under a lintel at eaves level. The Lodge has a wooden cornice board and lateral stacks.

Inside The Old Vicarage, the original staircase is preserved, featuring slender turned balusters, panelled doors, architraves, window shutters, pilaster divides for the ground floor front windows, and moulded plaster ceiling roses and cornices. The Old Vicarage Lodge contains part of a re-used staircase balustrade from 1733.
