Description
The Old Vicarage comprises two former residences, with a core dating to the mid-18th century, originally on the churchyard side and raised. It was altered and extended to the south between 1841 and 1842. The building is constructed of red brick with plain tile roofs. The west front is two storeys and has an attic, with three bays; the outer bays are gabled and slightly projected. Features include cogged eaves, gable verges, shaped stone kneelers, and a single-storey bay to the right. The left bay exhibits 18th-century brickwork to both ground and first floors, with renewed boxed three-pane sashes, each protected by a 19th-century Tudor hoodmould. The right bays incorporate boxed four-pane sashes, with the lower windows also having Tudor hoodmoulds. A gabled semi-dormer accommodates the first-floor window of the centre bay. To the right of the centre bay is a four-centred arch of painted stone with moulded spandrels, a Tudor hoodmould, and a 20th-century iron gate, leading to a recessed panelled door. A single-storey bay to the right contains a 20th-century three-light barred wooden casement and a Tudor hoodmould over a 20th-century flush-panelled door. The churchyard-facing side has three bays with a 19th-century gable raised over the left bays. It has three-pane sashes with Tudor hoodmoulds; the upper right window is blocked. A four-pane sash is located centrally, set in an altered opening over a blocked doorway. The interior of the left wing retains 18th-century two-panel doors and a fine 18th-century staircase, likely realigned, featuring turned balusters on spirally fluted vases, a moulded handrail, and a narrow pulvinated string. The building is included in the listing for its group value.
