The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a former vicarage now functioning as a private house. It is dated 1684 but has an earlier core and features extensive later additions and alterations. The building has some internal timber-framing that is encased in coursed magnesian limestone, with a roof made of shaped tile and pantile. The plan is irregular, consisting of the original L-shaped house with a front-left wing and later side wings.

The structure is two storeys high, with a window arrangement of 1:1:1 on the first floor. The doorway, which is set back on the right of the front wing, has moulded, quoined jambs, a depressed ogee lintel, and a recut datestone beneath a stepped hoodmould that extends to the left over a 2-light horizontally-sliding sash window with glazing bars. The left wing features an intact 3-light double-chamfered, mullioned window with a hoodmould, situated under an inserted 3-light casement with glazing bars. It has rounded kneelers and chamfered gable copings on a steeply-pitched front gable, topped with a cement-rendered apex stack.

The returns of the front wing have 2-light horizontally-sliding sashes with glazing bars; the left return has an original double-chamfered opening with a hoodmould. The side wing on the left has a casement window on the ground floor and a 20th-century 3-light mullioned window above, with a stone end stack on the left. The side wing set back on the right has 20th-century casement windows on each floor and a ridge stack at the junction with the earlier range.

Inside, at the internal angle of the original house, there is a wall post with braces connecting to the wall plate of the front wing and to a roof-truss tie beam, with another wall post at the opposite end of the tie beam, which may have been inserted. The front wing features a moulded spine beam on the ground floor and a scratch-moulded cupboard to the right of the fireplace, along with a 17th-century panelled door leading into the room above.
