Description
The Old Rectory is a house dating back to the 17th century, with significant additions and alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building is constructed of rubble and ashlar, with stone tile roofs. The structure comprises a low 17th-century wing, a large 18th-century addition dated 1721 and heightened in the 19th century, and a 19th-century bay windowed frontal wing added in 1830.
The oldest section on the left is a single storey with two casement windows, one of stone. The 1721 range is three stories high, with two 2-light casements on the second floor, five sash windows on the first floor, and five re-modelled windows on the ground floor, all with ashlar surrounds and keystones. Decorative ashlar quoins are embedded on the extreme left. The 1830 frontal wing features a 2-light casement above a tripartite bay window on the ground floor, with three sash windows on both the ground and first floors, also with ashlar surrounds. The house has six ashlar stacks and ashlar coping. An entry is located to the left of the frontal wing. A classical doorcase, originally from East Norton Hall, is incorporated into the entrance. A watercolour painting in the church depicts the house prior to the 1830 alterations.
