St Benedict'S Vicarage

St Benedict's Vicarage is a vicarage for the Church of St Benedict, built between 1911 and 1912 by the architectural firm Nicol and Nicol of Birmingham. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, featuring some burnt headers, and has a clay plain tile roof with sprocketted eaves that wrap around brick-coped gables. It includes brick axial and gable-end stacks with corbelled brick caps.

The architectural style is Domestic Revival, and the plan is L-shaped. The main range has three principal rooms on the south front, with the entrance located on the west side leading to a stair hall at the back. There is a kitchen wing at the rear right, which includes an integral outhouse range.

The exterior is two storeys high, with a symmetrical three-bay south front where the central gabled bay projects. The ground floor features 4-light stone mullion windows set in large round arch recesses with blind tympana, while the first floor has small 2-light windows under the eaves and a 3-light window in the projecting central bay, topped with a brick cross crosslet in the gable above. The windows are metal framed with leaded panes and have brick corbelled cills.

On the west side, there is a recessed brick round arch doorway to the left and three-light windows above, also with round arches and blind tympana. The rear elevation is asymmetrically fenestrated, with two similarly arched windows on the right and a lower service wing on the left. The east side features a large projecting stack on the gable end with weathered set-offs and a similarly arched window on the first floor, along with a service wing projecting on the right.

The interior has not been inspected but is reputed to have intact joinery, including a partly panelled hall and staircase.
