The Old Rectory And Adjoining Rectory Grange

The Old Rectory and adjoining Rectory Grange, now two houses, were built in 1761 with later 20th-century alterations. The building may have been designed by Thomas Wright. Constructed from coursed rubble and brick with slate and plain tile roofs, it features an ashlar plinth and dressings, deep wooden eaves, and coped gables. There are four gable, two ridge, and one rear wall stacks. The building is two storeys plus attics, and has an irregular L-shaped plan. The majority of windows are glazing bar sashes, with those on the main east front featuring keystoned ashlar surrounds. The east front has a recessed central doorcase with a fanlight, flanked by single Venetian windows. Above the doorcase are four sashes, and above them again, a pedimented gable containing a round-headed sash. To the right of the main block is a two-storey rendered service wing with a round-headed casement. To the right again is Rectory Grange, with three sashes with segmental heads on its upper floor, and three sashes on its lower floor, the central one being smaller. The north gable has 20th-century windows, and a 20th-century flat-roofed porch on the right. The south gable features a 20th-century casement and door. The rear of the building includes a late 20th-century catslide roofed addition (two bays), and a hipped stair enclosure supported by iron columns. The rear elevation showcases two doors alternating with two sashes, alongside an early 19th-century bow window with two margin light sashes, with two sashes and a casement above. The interior features a dogleg staircase with landings, stick balusters, and a glazed screen with a fanlight, alongside four 18th-century doors. It has a common rafter roof, while the rear wing has a late 19th-century kingpost softwood roof.
