Rectory

Rectory. The building dates from around the early 18th century, likely a remodelling of a 17th-century house. It is constructed of brick, with a plain tiled roof. The south-facing entrance front has three gabled bays of unequal size. The central bay features a 6-panelled door beneath a wooden, canopied porch, flanked by 12-pane sash windows with segmentally arched brick heads. Similar windows are in the outer bays, with one first-floor window blind. Attic windows are located beneath the gables, the outer ones also blind, with a central 6-pane sash window. Parapet eaves run between the gables, and string courses mark each floor. A section of blue brick in the right-hand bay suggests a later building phase. A large projecting stack is on the right, and an axial stack is on the left. The churchyard elevation has four bays, with outer blind windows and a doorway set within a pedimented case featuring a panelled architrave, rebates, and a flat entablature. A single 12-paned sash window is to the right of the doorway, with four similar windows above, all with flat-arched, gauged brick heads. Two dormers are visible in the attic. String courses run above the windows, and the building has blue brick quoins, dentilled eaves, and coped gables. A wide, canted bay was added around 1820 to the north-facing elevation, featuring stone quoins and a plinth, along with sash windows with gauged brick heads. An additional service wing dates from the early 19th century.

The interior is exceptionally well-preserved and complete, featuring many original 18th-century details. These include a fine early 18th-century open-well staircase with turned balusters, moulded handrails which ramp up to column newels, and a panelled dado. The rooms have panelling, pilastered overmantels, moulded cornices, panelled doors and cupboard doors, 18th-century chimney pieces, and a timber screen in the attic with a Chinoiserie overlight.
