The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a house that was originally built as a rectory in the early 16th century. It features a timber-frame structure with plaster infill set on a rubble plinth, topped with a tile roof and brick stacks. The building has two storeys and a four-window range. The entrance, located to the left of the center, includes a battened door and a 20th-century gabled porch. The windows are varied, with 20th-century casements that have leaded glazing. There is a stack on the front ridge to the left of the porch. The right side of the building has close-studded framing, a jettied first floor, and a large plastered chimney breast on the ground floor, with an end stack to the right of the ridge and a close-studded gable. The left side is brick with a timber-framed gable. At the rear, there is a hipped projection on the ground floor. The interior is noted for having a three-bay roof with braced tie beams and wind braces, as well as flat joists. The former parish church of St James is located immediately to the northwest.
