Description

St. Martin's Vicarage is a large vicarage built in 1840, constructed from hammer-dressed stone with a slate roof. It features two storeys and is designed in the Vernacular Revival style. The southeast front has an 'F'-plan layout with four bays. The second bay projects forward and includes a two-storey gable porch with a depressed Tudor arched doorway. Above the doorway is a tablet shaped like an open scroll, inscribed with 'ADMDCCCXL'. The porch has an arched light above it, and the gable is adorned with open work cusped barge boards and drop finials, culminating in a finial at the apex. The fourth bay also features a similar gable.

Most windows are tall, with chamfered surrounds and hoodmoulds. The first and third bays have shaped dormers. The left-hand return wall consists of two bays, with the first bay showcasing a large three-light mullioned window that has a cruciform glazing in the central light, which has been altered to form a doorway. Above this is a similar dormer. Between the bays on the first floor is a projecting canted window. The second bay is topped with a plain gable, which has lost its decorative barge boards, and features a stepped light on the first floor with a shield set in a square in the gable. The roof is covered with fish-scale slates, and there are three tall stacks with diagonally set chimneys. The vicarage is part of a group with the church and school, which have remained unchanged since 1840, as illustrated in an engraving.
