Description

The Rectory, built in 1627 by Richard Morton, the Rector, features his initials on the datestone. The building is constructed from coursed ironstone and has seen little exterior alteration. It has a stone slate roof and stands two storeys high with three-storey gables and three-light stone mullioned windows. The entrance door, which has a Tudor arch, is set in a small projecting gabled multi-storey porch that includes two-light mullioned windows on each floor. The windows are adorned with straight dripstones. Inside, there is a 19th-century door and interior. At the rear, there is a rendered cross wing with a band at the first floor and a large external chimney.
