The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a former rectory, now a house, built in 1863 by James Fowler of Louth. It features red brick with yellow brick decorative bands and ashlar dressings, topped with plain tiled roofs that have two ridge stacks. The building has an L-shaped plan and is two stories high with a two-bay front that includes a plinth and a corbelled band. The entrance is off-center, consisting of glazed double doors with a triangular plain overlight, flanked by single plain windows. To the right, there is a margin light sash window. On the first floor, there are two similar windows set under gables. All windows have pointed heads, with red and yellow brick voussoirs and ashlar keystones. To the left of the front, there is a canted brick bay featuring tall plain sash windows, also with pointed heads. The entrance is located in an advanced bay on the right side, above which is a larger window with delicate arched glazing bars, and the gable displays a lozenge pattern in flush yellow brick. The original plans indicate that the house was not built as originally intended.
