Description
The Old Vicarage is a former vicarage, now a house, dating from 1730, with alterations made in the early 19th century and 20th century. The main part of the building is constructed of coursed squared limestone rubble with ashlar quoins and dressings, and rendered red brick. It has a pantiled roof with raised stone coped gables, and two brick gable stacks. The main front is two storeys high and three bays wide, featuring a central half-glazed door recessed within a 20th-century hip-roofed stone porch. It is flanked by single glazing bar sash windows. The first floor has three similar windows, the central one slightly narrower. All windows have Gothic traceried glazing bars and splayed ashlar lintels with keystones. A two-storey, two-bay extension of rendered red brick adjoins the right side, with two 20th-century windows on the ground floor and a glazing bar sash window above. During internal work, a datestone dated 1730 was discovered in the blocked-up doorway. Inside, reused 17th-century chamfered oak girders remain.
