The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a vicarage that has been converted into a house, built between 1846 and 1847. It was designed by William Butterfield for Edward Knottesford Fortescue. The building is constructed from squared lias rubble, with a projecting wing made of regular coursed lias and a roughcast front wall. It features lias quoins and limestone dressings. The main range has an old tile roof, while the wing has late 20th-century tiles. The structure includes coped gables, lias stacks, and a brick external stack on the wing.

This Gothic Revival style building is two storeys high and has a T-plan layout, with a gabled projecting wing and a cross wing. The façade has a five-window range, with an entrance in the corner that features an arched plank door framed by a moulded stone arch and lias voussoirs. The windows display irregular fenestration, including ground floor stone chamfered mullioned and transomed windows with shaped upper lights, as well as a two-light square-headed window with trefoiled ogee lights. The wing has a French window with a block surround on the right return side, while the left return side has an external stack.

The left section of the building, which was originally single storey, includes a door and an iron segmental-headed window. The first floor features lancet lights and half-dormers, with a late 20th-century half-dormer above the door. The upper storey on the left end, added later, is made of colourwashed brick. At the rear, there is a staircase projection with a hipped roof, an arched door, and a two-light window with trefoiled ogee lights. The staircase has a two-light window in the Decorated style with ogee lights and a transom, as well as a quatrefoil. There is also a half-dormer with single small lancets.

The Old Vicarage is part of an interesting group of buildings that includes the Church of St. Andrew and the Wilmcote Church of England junior and infants school.
