Description
St Thomas's Vicarage is a vicarage built around 1899 by Stockdale Harrison. It is constructed of brick and features a Welsh slate roof. The building is two stories high and has a square plan. The entrance front consists of three bays, with a tripartite sash window in the left bay and a central gable that slightly projects above the eaves. This gable features a wide round-arched entrance with a finely panelled door that has stained glass in the upper panels, along with an intricately wrought fan light. Above the entrance, there is a group of three round-arched windows, and in the apex of the curving Dutch gable, there is another wide window. To the right, there is an expressed chimney with paired shafts. The roof is hipped and has finials.
On the garden front, there is a recessed right-hand bay with an expressed stack, leading to a large squared bay window that includes French windows and leaded upper panes, topped with a brick dentilled cornice. The upper windows are four-light sashes with leaded upper panes. The side of this projecting bay features another expressed chimney that is corbelled out. The roof of this projection is also hipped and has a finial. Beyond this, there is a recessed bay with an expressed chimney that contains small paired leaded lights. Dormers are present in the hipped central roof. The west elevation showcases wide full-height canted bays with round-arched windows that have keystones and moulded cills, along with a dentilled cornice that breaks across the eaves line. The vicarage is included for its group value.
