The Rectory

The Rectory is a mid-18th century building with early 19th century alterations, extensions, and modifications made by Benjamin Broadbent in 1856 and James Fowler in 1875. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and Farlesthorpe yellow brick, topped with a slate roof. The building features a single axial brick stack with a moulded top. It is two stories high with a garret and has a three-bay front that includes a plinth and eaves band. The central entrance has a panelled door with a plain fanlight, set within a 19th century porch made of Farlesthorpe brick and featuring a flat roof. To the left, there is a canted bay window with a hipped slate roof, also made of yellow brick, while to the right is a blank 18th century window opening. On the first floor, there are two similar openings and a glazing bar sash, all with segmental brick heads. The left side has a fixed glazing bar early 19th century stair window in a slightly projecting bay with a semi-circular head. The right side features an 18th century canted two-story bay window with plain sashes, and the 1856 yellow brick addition has a matching bay. Inside, the Rectory retains an early 19th century stick baluster stair with a carved string and some 18th century door joinery. A large moat surrounds the Rectory.
