Description
The Old Rectory is a former rectory, now a house, dating from the 18th century. It was substantially altered in 1804, based on plans drawn up by William Lumby in 1789, and then refronted in 1888. The building is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar quoins and dressings, with an ashlar front, and has a slate roof featuring stone coped gables and kneelers. There are two partly external gable ashlar stacks, one pair at the front and another at the rear, both with paired shafts and moulded tops. The property has parallel ranges to the rear. It is two storeys with an attic, and features a three-bay front, with the centre bay projecting and having a separate gable, a plinth, and a first-floor band. The central entrance is a half-glazed door set within a steeply gabled Elizabethan-style porch. The porch has a semi-circular headed outer doorway within a rectangular moulded surround, with a moulded lozenge light above, and is flanked by single cross mullion and glazing bar casements. Above, on the first floor, are three similar windows, and a single casement window in the gable. Around the sides and rear are sash windows dating from circa 1804, set within plain stone architraves with raised keyblocks.
