Description
The Old Rectory is a house that was formerly the vicarage, built in 1818 for Reverend G.L. Jenyns by Charles Humfrey of Cambridge. It was altered in 1828 by Henry Legge for Reverend Leonard Jenyns. The building is constructed of gault brick and features a low pitch hipped slate roof. It has a double pile plan and two storeys. The entrance is located on the east side, which includes an open-sided flat roof portico leading to a half-glazed door. On the first floor, there are three recessed hung sashes. The garden front consists of three bays, with two tripartite hung sashes with glazing bars on either side of a hung sash. The ground floor has larger, similar windows.
