Description

The Clergy House, now serving as a vicarage, was built in 1786 for Dr. Miller and has undergone later alterations and additions. It is constructed of rendered stone with painted stone dressings and features a slate roof. The building is two storeys high with attics, measuring four bays by two bays.

The main west front has an off-centre pilastered doorcase topped with a moulded pediment, leading to a panelled door beneath a traceried fanlight. The ground and first floors have 12-pane sash windows with projecting sills, with two windows to the left and one to the right of the doorcase, and four above. The gables are stone-coped on plain kneelers, and there are two rendered stacks at the rear.

The south elevation facing the churchyard includes an 18th-century bay on the left and an early 20th-century bay on the right. The 18th-century section features a bow window on the ground floor with three 12-pane sashes, a projecting sill, and a moulded cornice. There are blind semi-circular headed recesses on either side. A wide first-floor band is inscribed with 'Harmoniae Sacrum', and a central Venetian window above has a high transom and small panes in the upper lights, flanked by blind flat-headed recesses and a narrow sill band. The gable is pedimented with a painted oculus above. The later addition has three-light windows and a first-floor sill band.

The north gable wall displays two-storey canted bay windows with sashes and a small attic window above. Inside, the hall features a flagged floor and a dog-leg staircase with thin turned balusters and square newels, along with panelled doors throughout. The historical context is noted in E. Miller's 'The History of Doncaster', published in 1804.
