Description
The Vicarage is a vicarage built in 1796 by John Andrew, with early and late 19th-century alterations. It features coursed limestone rubble, limestone ashlar, and some red brick, topped with a Collyweston tile roof and pantiles at the rear. The building has stone coped gables, modillioned wooden eaves, gable stacks, and a single ridge stack at the rear.
The structure is L-shaped, two stories high, with a five-bay front. The central doorway has a large semi-circular head with a semi-circular ashlar lintel inscribed "Vixea noftra voca." The ashlar doorcase has inscriptions on the right-hand jamb reading "S.H. profuit" and "April 22 1796" on the left-hand jamb. The entrance is flanked by single ashlar-dressed Venetian windows, each featuring a raised keystone over the central light and glazing bar sashes. Above, there are five glazing bar sashes.
On the south side, there are two bays with a five-light casement window to the left and a three-light casement window to the right, both with ashlar lintels and raised keystones. An early 19th-century red brick stable is attached to the right, featuring a blocked doorway with a segmental head and a two-light sliding sash window above with a wooden lintel.
The east gable end has two doorways, one panelled and the other with double stable doors, along with a two-light casement window above. A rubble garden wall extends from the northeast corner of the house eastwards, featuring large battlements, a doorway to the east with a brick surround and plank door, and a pointed brick niche to the west.
Inside, there is a late 19th-century single flight staircase in the rear hall with carved tread ends, plain bannisters, and a moulded handrail. The ground floor rooms contain pairs of plain, semi-circular headed niches, and several late 18th-century cupboards are found in the bedrooms.
