The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a house, formerly a rectory, built in the early 18th century for scholar Zachary Grey, who was rector from 1725 to 1766. It is constructed of red brick, some of which is vitrified, creating a mottled effect, and has a clay tile roof. The building has a double-pile plan with a two-span roof and consists of two storeys and attics.

On the north elevation, there is a moulded brick band at the first-floor level and a wood modillion eaves cornice. The façade features a five-window range of flush sashes with glazing bars, all set under gauged brick flat arches. The attic includes three box dormers with casements from the 18th century, also with glazing bars. A central doorway is accessed by a flight of stone steps and features a panelled door flanked by fluted pilasters, topped by a broken pediment hood on moulded brackets. Red brick integral stacks are located at both gable ends.

Inside, the property retains panelled doors and reveals, along with a geometrical staircase around an oval well, which has plain stick balusters. To the east, there is a mid-19th century two-storeyed block, with a single-storeyed service block projecting northwards.
