Priory Building At The Old Rectory

The Priory Building at the Old Rectory is a house that was originally part of the claustral range of a Benedictine monastery, dating from the 13th to the 16th centuries, with alterations made in the 19th century. It is constructed of sandstone rubble and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has three storeys and a four-window range on the south front. To the left, there is a single lancet window and a cross window, both with pointed heads and hood-moulds. To the right, there are two 19th-century lights with upper casements and eight additional 19th-century lights. The façade also includes two 2-light mullion windows and a part-blocked opening in a stone arch, with a central 20th-century entrance and two 19th-century lights, flanked by buttresses.

There is a two-storey wing to the left, featuring three lancet lights in stone reveals and a 19th-century 2-light casement in an altered opening. The left side has various lights, including a blocked mullion window at the gable, and early 19th-century brickwork can be seen at the rear. The south front displays two moulded ashlar cross-windows with 19th-century glazing beneath cusped heads and hood-moulds, along with three 20th-century casements. The interior has not been inspected but is reported to contain a blocked Tudor fireplace at the east end, a blocked 13th-century doorway in the west wall, and an early window.
