The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a former vicarage to St Mark's Church, dating to 1879, and subsequently converted into three dwellings around 1970. It was designed by George Gilbert Scott junior. The building is constructed of pinkish-red brick with pinker brick banding to the main facade, ashlar dressings, and a plain tile roof. It is executed in a Queen Anne Revival style.

The main range is two storeys with attics, featuring three first-floor windows, alongside a service wing to the left with two lower storeys and five first-floor windows. The main range projects and has a chamfered plinth. The first floor features a moulded band, tall 4/4 sash windows in roll-moulded surrounds with keystones and tooled sills, a continuous band at sill level, and a cornice interrupted by the windows. A further moulded cornice runs along the top. An attic dormer has a Dutch surround. The ground floor has four roll-edged steps leading to a panelled, round-arched door, surrounded by mannerist fluted Doric columns with plinths and a segmental pediment. Three tall 6/4 sash windows are set in roll-moulded surrounds with keystones, sills and a continuous band at sill level. The roof is hipped with a glazed stairwell, and tall stacks with plain buttresses extend from it. Shaped gables are interrupted by a stack to the left and incorporated into the right return.

The wing to the left features a continuous band, 4/4 sashes with moulded sills, and an alternately proud and flush cornice. Ground floor openings are 2/2 sashes with moulded sills and a continuous band at sill level, set within flat arches of rubbed brick. The right return rises two storeys with attics, with three bays and outer full-height rectangular bay windows. The first floor of the bay windows each contain a pair of 4/4 sashes to the fronts and 4/4 sashes to the sides, plus moulded sills, impost bands, roll-moulding to angles, moulded flat arches with keystones. Above the paired windows are pairs of segmental pediments, and balconies with balustrades. A centrally located 4/4 sash has a moulded sill, continuous band, roll-moulded surround, moulded flat arch with keystone, and a pediment. A continuous cornice runs along the top. The ground floor includes moulded steps to a central entrance with a 6-panel door in a pilastered surround, and a small 4-pane window above. Outer bays have 6/4 sashes, moulded sill, impost band, and a continuous moulded cornice. A pair of curvilinear gables with pediments each contain two pairs of 6/6 sashes, a round arch with keystone and moulded copings. The rear facades feature 4/4 sashes to the first floor, 6/4 to the ground floor, and an attic dormer matching the front.

The interior includes an openwell staircase with onion-on-bobbin balusters and a stairwell with deep coving and moulded fruit. There are 6-panel doors, some with pulvinated friezes and pediments. The building forms an architectural group with the Boundary Wall and Railings to Nos 4, 6 and 8 St Mark's Road, and St Mark's Church, Rugby Road, all also designed by Scott.
