The Vicarage

The Vicarage is a building that was rebuilt around 1870, incorporating some elements from a 16th-century manor house, located on the site of the Abbess's lodgings. It features English bond brick and timber-framing with rendered infill, possibly over brick, and has a brick plinth. The roofs are covered with old plain tiles, and there are stone external stacks with brick shafts and brick ridge stacks. The building has an irregular E-plan and consists of one storey, one storey with an attic, and two storeys, with a five-window range.

A wide two-storey porch has a gable with herringbone framing that jetties on brackets, and there is a ribbed Tudor-arched door. Above the door, a four-light casement window has a horizontal glazing bar and a coved jetty. The gabled range to the left features wood mullioned windows with four lights on the ground floor and three lights above. The right range includes a four-light leaded wood mullioned staircase window with two transoms. The wings have ground floors of brick, with moulded brick mullioned windows and sill courses.

To the left, there is a large one-storey cross-wing with a separate roof and blue brick diapering, along with cross windows in the angles. The front has buttresses, and the timber-framed gable has a five-light leaded wood mullioned window. The right return side features a four-light window and a lateral stack with offsets. The brick shafts throughout have pilasters and cornices of oversailing courses. The right wing has two three-light windows, and the jettied first floor has a five-light wood mullioned window. The left return side includes a lateral stack. The irregular rear, facing the garden, is mostly brick, and the right range, set far back, has a very large five-light brick mullioned window with two transoms.

Inside, the left wing contains a partly 15th/16th-century three-bay arched-brace roof, a large Elizabethan stone fireplace with a Tudor arch and ornamented spandrels, and some 17th-century panelling.
