Description

The Vicarage is a vicarage built in the later 18th century, reputedly designed by the historian John Watson, who was the Vicar of Ripponden from 1754 to 1769. It is constructed of ashlar stone with a stone slate roof and has two storeys. The building features two sill bands and a plinth. The five-bay facade includes tall sash windows that retain their original 12-paned glazing. On the right-hand side, there is a tall stair window with a pointed arch. The roof is hipped and has two chimney stacks.
