Description

St. Thomas's Vicarage is a parsonage built around 1843. It is constructed from dressed freestone with ashlar quoins and dressings, topped with a slate roof that has coped verges on shaped kneelers and stone stacks. The building has an irregular plan, with the main part aligned east-west and a cross-wing to the north-east. It is two storeys high and features a window arrangement of 1:1:2.

On the left side, there is a projecting gabled wing that contains 20th-century windows set in the original openings. A sill band from the first floor continues across the central main block to the right. The front door, located at the left end of the main block, has a fanlight with a raised keystone and a nominal pediment above it. The ground floor window to the right is blocked, but the first floor window has a 19th-century glazing bar casement.

To the right, there is a slightly lower two-storey service wing that also features glazing bar casements. St. Thomas's Vicarage is part of an interesting group of buildings that includes The School and the Church, and it is recognized for its group value.
