The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a former rectory built around 1760, likely for Reverend John Dickinson. The building features a front wall made of gault brick, with local brick used for the side and rear walls, and Ketton limestone dressings on the quoins, door, and window surrounds. It has a hipped slate roof that is pedimented at the front, complete with a bulls eye window in the tympanum and end stacks. The layout consists of two rooms flanking a central hall, and the structure is two storeys high with an attic. The front has a range of three hung sash windows with glazing bars, along with two larger similar windows on the ground floor. The central doorway is pedimented and features a moulded architrave and a pulvinated frieze. At the rear, there is a garden doorway with a rusticated surround, a raised key block, and a moulded cornice. To the east, there is a lower kitchen range that has been significantly altered.

Inside, one ground floor room retains a fine 1760 interior, showcasing a cornice with cyma, egg and dart, and dentil mouldings. There is a richly carved window surround featuring a fret pattern between console brackets adorned with acanthus and drops of husk ornament. The fireplace has a shouldered surround made of pine with some marble, and above it is a shouldered and ramped overmantel with a swan's neck pediment and shell motif. The staircase, also from 1760, comprises four flights with a closed-string design, turned balusters, a moulded rail, and square newels.
