The Old Vicarage And Attached Screen Wall

The Old Vicarage, now a house, was built in the early 19th century, likely designed by Peter Atkinson of York based on plans by John Carr for Edward Lascelles, 1st Earl of Harewood. It is accompanied by an attached screen wall. The building is two storeys high. The front facade has two windows on the first floor. A doorway with a wooden surround and hood is on the left, above which is a tripartite sash window set within a flat-arched recess with voussoirs. A casement-moulded cornice runs along the top. To the right, the wall is coursed and pierced by a segmental-arched entrance to a rear courtyard, and has an ashlar coping. To the left, the front section projects slightly, featuring a semicircular-arched recess with an impost band containing a flat-arched 16-pane sash window, with a Diocletian window filling the arch above. The roof is hipped with a single ridge stack. The left-hand return has five bays, with five recessed archways and windows matching those on the front facade. The ground-floor window in the third bay was altered around 1930 with the addition of a bay window.
