Description
The Vicarage is a vicarage built in the early 17th century, with alterations made in the late 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble, featuring ashlar quoins and dressings, and has a concrete plain tiled roof with three red brick gable stacks. The building is designed in an L-plan and consists of two storeys plus attics, with a three-bay front. The central entrance features half-glazed double doors, while to the left is a canted bay French window with a flat lead roof, and to the right is a tall glazing bar sash window. On the first floor, there are three plain sash windows. The openings are topped with plain ashlar lintels that have incised keys.
On the right side of the building, there is an open loggia with a shaped copper roof and latticed wooden supports in the Chinese Taste. The roof includes three dormers, each with two-light casements and leaded cheeks. A building line is visible running through both floors between the middle and right-hand bays. To the right of the main front, there is a two-storey, single-bay wing that is separately gabled. Beyond this wing is a two-storey, two-bay late 18th-century service block, which forms one side of a yard. It is said that Charles Kingsley wrote "Hereward the Wake" at this location.
