The Old Vicarage,King Edward VI Grammar School

The Old Vicarage, now the headmaster's house for King Edward VI Grammar School, was built in 1702 with later alterations and designed by Francis Smith. This Georgian-style building features a brick construction with a tiled roof and brick end stacks. It has a double-depth plan, two storeys with an attic, and a five-window range. A platt band runs over the ground floor, and there is a top cornice. The round-headed entrance, located to the left of center, includes a doorcase with panelled pilasters and a bracketed open pediment, along with a fanlight that has radial glazing bars above a six-fielded-panel door. The windows are topped with rubbed brick flat arches over cross-casements, most of which have leaded glazing. The left end of the building has a later canted bay window with a hipped slate roof, along with a smaller first-floor bay. The ground floor features 12:16:12-pane sashes, while the first floor has 4:16:4-pane sashes. The attic includes four irregularly spaced hipped dormers with two-light small-paned casements. The rear of the building has two gabled wings with stucco, and the narrow right end has a catslide roof with an end stack. The interior is noted for having some panelling and a staircase with turned balusters. The Old Vicarage is part of a group of buildings used by the King Edward VI Grammar School.
