The Rectory

The Rectory is a house that dates from the late 16th century, with additions from the late 17th and late 18th centuries. It is constructed from limestone ashlar and squared, coursed rubble, featuring a plinth, rusticated quoins, and coped gables. The stone slate roof has ashlar ridge and end stacks with moulded bases and cornices. The building has two storeys plus an attic and a five-window range, with the central three windows set in a slightly projecting section.

At the center, there is an old panelled and part-glazed door within a stone Doric porch. On either side of the door, there are two 12-pane sash windows with moulded sills and architraves. The central projecting bay has a pediment, and a moulded cornice runs along the length of the building, topped by a parapet with moulded coping and later gabled dormers. At the rear, there is a further late 17th-century gabled range with 12-pane sash windows and moulded architraves. A datestone inscribed 'H/HM/1690' is present.

Extending from the rear is a late 16th-century range of limestone ashlar with quoins, a coped gable, and a stone slate roof. This section features ashlar ridge and end stacks, one of which has replaced brick flues. On the left and right sides, there are large, four-light mullioned windows with hood moulds and label stops. The first floor has 18th-century horizontal sliding sashes, with a 6-pane casement between. There are also two 20th-century dormers and an early 19th-century brick one-window range to the left, which has one 12-pane sash on each floor.

Inside, the hall features 18th-century panelling with a bracketed cornice and dado rail. There is an Adam-style wooden fireplace in the room to the right, along with further dado panelling. The hall has a stone flagged floor and 6-panelled doors. A turned baluster staircase in the late 17th-century range has three balusters per tread, and there is a reconstructed staircase in the attic with pierced and shaped flat balusters. The roof in the late 16th-century range has trenched purlin trusses, one of which has a highly curved collar brace, while the late 18th-century range has further trenched purlin trusses with curved collars. Old plank doors are also present.
