Description
The Rectory, formerly known as the Vicarage, is a building that dates from the late 16th century, with a late 17th-century addition and alterations made in 1814 to serve as a vicarage. It is constructed of coursed squared limestone rubble with ashlar quoins and dressings, topped with Collyweston slate roofs featuring stone-coped roll-moulded gables. The building has two moulded stone gable stacks, a ridge stack with four shafts, and a large external wall stack at the rear, all adorned with moulded cornices.
The Rectory has a two-storey, seven-bay front. The central bay is slightly advanced and features a separate gable, with blocked 17th-century square openings in the side wall. This central bay, along with the three bays to the left, forms the late 17th-century addition. The building has a plinth and a central six-panelled door with a fanlight, set within a moulded stone architrave that includes impost blocks. To the left of the door, there are three glazing bar sash windows on both floors. To the right, there is a full-height glazing bar sash window, followed by a two-light mullioned window and a three-light similar window, both with cornices. Above the door, there are glazing bar sashes on each floor, along with a further similar window to the right and a pair of two-light chamfered mullioned windows. All the glazing bar sashes feature slightly cambered ashlar heads with raised keystones.
Inside, the Rectory retains an early 19th-century stick baluster staircase with a wreathed handrail, along with some early 19th-century architraves and fire surrounds. Attached to the north wall of the Rectory is a coursed limestone rubble wall, approximately 6 feet high, which has a pantile coping. This wall contains a late 17th-century ashlar gateway featuring a central planked doorway set in a segmental-headed chamfered surround, complete with a plinth and cornice above. The gateway is flanked by square piers that have moulded cornices and tall ball finials, with an ashlar gabled coping connecting the tops of the piers.
