Vicarage and Vicarage Lodge to Church of St Philip and St James

The Vicarage and Vicarage Lodge, built in 1879-80, were designed by JL Pearson for the Rev. GH Straffen. The building is constructed of orange brick in English bond on the ground floor, with the first floor hung with plain and fishscale tiles. It has plain tile roofs, half-hipped and gabled, with tall, ornately moulded brick stacks with brick corbel cornices. There are bargeboards to the gables and gablets, the latter having tiny pointed openings with glass louvres. A cast-iron weather vane dated 1879 is on the porch gable, and a terracotta finial tops the conical roof of a semicircular bow window.

The main range is two storeys and three bays, with a two-storey, one-and-a-half bay projecting wing to the left. The porch is projecting and two-storey, with a deeply coved and jettied first floor supported on shaped joists and brackets. It has nail-studded board double doors on the ground floor and a six-light window with eight-pane casements and timber mullions above. The bay to the left of the porch has a coved jetty and small-pane, mullioned and transomed windows to the left, with smaller two-light windows with pivoting top lights on both floors. A ground-floor window with two eight-pane lights is located to the right of the porch. A moulded sillstring is stepped and broken by the longer windows, with a cogged brick course beneath the first floor of the right bay and deep coved eaves returning over the left part of the garden front. The crosswing has a nail-studded door beneath a flat porch in a half bay. The left bay projects significantly and includes a five-light window with casements and top lights on both floors; the first-floor window projects as a shallow square bay on shaped brackets. A brick corbel course runs beneath the first floor on the left side. The garden front presents two storeys and three bays, with a two-storey shallow square bay to the left and a full-height semicircular bay with a conical roof and finial to the right. A central bay features only a three-light first-floor window. Windows in the square bay are of five lights, while those in the semicircular bay are banded beneath moulded timber cornices on both floors, all mullioned and transomed with one-pane casements and small-pane transom lights. The interior has not been inspected.
