Description
The Old Vicarage is a private house that was originally built as a vicarage around 1840, likely designed by architect William Hurst of Doncaster, who also designed the nearby Church of St. Saviour. The building is constructed of yellow brick in Flemish bond and features a 20th-century cement-tile roof. It stands two storeys high with a three-by-two bay layout.
The central entrance consists of a part-glazed door set within a stone architrave, topped by a moulded cornice supported by consoles. On either side of the door are sash windows with glazing bars, which have projecting stone sills and cornices on smaller consoles. The first floor has a band running across it; the outer bays feature shorter sash windows with glazing bars, also with projecting sills and cambered brick arches. The central window on the first floor, which has been altered, contains a sash with glazing bars in a boxed surround, set forward on four shaped brackets.
There is a band beneath the overhanging eaves, which are supported by wooden brackets. The roof is hipped and has three corniced stacks. The left side of the building has sash windows with glazing bars on the ground floor, while the first-floor windows have been replaced. The vicarage was built shortly after the Church of St. Saviour, financed by money borrowed from John Childers of Cantley Hall. The building is included for its group value and details about it were recorded by Rev. G. H. Woodhouse in 1877.
