Description
Choristers' House, now divided into three houses, was built in 1661, altered in 1887, and had additions around 1900. The structure is made of dressed stone and brick, topped with a plain tile roof. It features two rear wall stacks with triple flues set diagonally, a cogged brick first floor band, and brick coped parapets and gables. The building has two storeys plus attics and consists of four bays arranged in an L-plan. The windows, which date from the 19th century, have wooden mullions or cross mullions and wooden cornices. The front façade has double gables, with a 4-centred arched doorcase on the left that includes a hoodmould and a part-glazed weatherstripped door. To the right of the door, there are three windows, one of which has a segmental head. Above these, there are four additional windows, and in each gable peak, there is a single 3-light window. The interior was refitted in the late 19th century.
