Description
All Souls' House, formerly the vicarage for All Souls' Church, is now a set of flats and features a covered passage linking it to the church. Built in the late 19th century, it was converted around 1978. The building is constructed from coursed squared gritstone and ashlar, topped with a stone slate roof. It stands two storeys high with an attic and basement, arranged in seven bays on a sloping site, and is designed in the Gothic Revival style.
The facade facing the road includes a board door on the right set in a moulded pointed arch with a hoodmould, and a crocketed niche above. The ground floor has two-light mullioned windows, while the first floor features cross windows and two single-light windows above the entrance. An inscription in Gothic lettering above the ground-floor windows reads: 'CHRISTUS MEUM FUNDAMENTUM SIT HUIC DOMO FIRMAMENTUM' ('May Christ be my foundation (and) the support for this house'). The gable copings, inserted roof lights, and four tall banded ridge stacks add to the architectural detail.
At the rear, the ashlar-walled basement serves as the ground floor on this side, featuring four bays with slightly projecting end bays that have gabled roofs. A covered passage is set back on the left, supported by octagonal piers and four moulded segmental arches; the right arch has been walled to create a lobby for the vicarage entrance, which has a steep-pitched roof. The house includes three- and four-light transom and mullion windows, and a full-height canted bay window in bay two, adorned with carved shields below the second-floor window. There are also two dormers with carved barge boards at the center.
Inside, the main stair has been removed during the conversion to flats, but a service stair at the east end connects the basement to the attics and features square-section balusters and newels with ball finials. Although the main rooms on the ground floor have been partitioned, the original doors with six fielded panels and crenellated architraves remain, along with panelled reveals to the windows and egg-and-dart plasterwork on the ceilings. The upper floors have not been examined.
