The Old Rectory And Attached Walls And Gate Piers

The Old Rectory, along with its attached walls and gate piers, is a house built around 1728. It features red brick construction, a hipped plain tile roof, and brick ridge stacks. The building has two storeys and an attic, with rusticated quoins of unequal length and a moulded eaves cornice. The front has five windows, which are 12-pane glazing bar sashes with exposed sash boxes, aprons, and gauged brick heads. There is a central six-panel door with a moulded architrave, raised key, and a moulded cornice hood.

The property is enclosed by two short lengths of wall that end in a pair of rusticated ashlar gate piers topped with ball finials, creating a small front courtyard. At the rear, there is a two-storey bow window from the 1790s featuring large stone mullioned windows. Inside, there is an early 18th-century dog-leg staircase with turned balusters and an open string with carved tread ends. One of the front rooms has 18th-century oak panelling, and the ground floor rear room with the bow window has a late 18th-century plaster cornice.

The Old Rectory is likely the same as the Well-house described by Stebbing Shaw in 1798 as "a neat modern brick house, standing by the roadside, erected about 70 years ago, having been lately improved by the present owner Mr. C.B. Robinson, attorney at law."
