The Old Parsonage

The Old Parsonage is a house, dating from the mid-18th century, and possibly incorporating an earlier structure. It has been used as commercial premises on the ground floor. The building is constructed of painted brick and render, with steeply pitched clay tile roofs. It follows an L-shaped plan, presenting elevations to both the road and the churchyard, which suggests a double-pile layout.

The two-storey road elevation is symmetrical, with a 2:1:2 window arrangement. The outer bays have a plinth, bands at first-floor level and first-floor sill level, and a moulded eaves cornice. The slightly projecting central bay features pairs of engaged rusticated Tuscan columns supporting an entablature and moulded cornice. Within this is a semi-circular arched doorway, originally a window, with impost bands, a keystone, a moulded archivolt, and a 20th-century glazed door and semi-circular fanlight. A blind balustrade rises from the first floor, supporting engaged antae which hold a moulded entablature with a recessed central section. The central bay rises above the parapet, exhibiting a semi-circular recess topped by a moulded pediment containing an oval oeil-de-boeuf window. The ground and first floor windows are sash windows with glazing bars; the first-floor windows are older, with heavier glazing bars. All windows are set within flat-arched heads.

The churchyard elevation, originally the entrance front, is symmetrical, featuring a 2:1:2 arrangement of sash windows. It resembles the road elevation, although the projecting central bay is plain, lacking columns, antae, and a blind balustrade. The first-floor outer windows are blind, as is the left-hand ground-floor window. A hipped dormer is present in the attic on the left-hand side. The churchyard elevation includes a 6-panel door with a semi-circular fanlight above. A substantial red brick ridge stack is also visible. A single-storeyed addition extends from the right-hand side of the building.
