The Vicarage And The Glebe

The Vicarage and The Glebe are two houses formed from a former vicarage, built in 1836 by George and Mary Elizabeth Lucy for his brother, the Reverend John Lucy. The houses are constructed of brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with limestone dressings, and have a fish-scale tile roof with brick ridge stacks. They are designed in a Tudor-Revival style and arranged in an L-plan.

The two-storey, three-window front features a projecting centre with a coped gable, finials to the kneelers, and a tall central finial. The left side of the centre has a brick and stone porch with a moulded four-centred arch, spandrels, and a label mould with carved stops. It also includes a stepped gable with a panel displaying the Lucy crest and a pointed light to the return. Double-chamfered mullioned windows are present with label moulds and small-paned glazing. The centre of the front features a two-storey projecting window with string courses and a hipped ashlar roof with a ‘beast’ at each end, quatrefoil panels between the four-light windows with four-centred heads to the lights, and the Lucy Arms displayed in a panel above. The ground floor to the right has a three-light mullioned and transomed window, while the first floor has three-light windows flanking the centre. The building has gabled roofs and two cross-axial stacks, one with renewed diagonal shafts, and one with octagonal shafts.

The right return has barge-boards with a Tudor flower and finial, a large four-light transomed window, two two-light windows to the first floor, and a small gable light. The rear wing to the right features gablets and plainer windows, along with two cross-axial stacks with octagonal shafts. The left return has plain barge-boards and two cross-mullioned windows with a two-light window above, and a small gable light with lattice glazing.
