The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a house that was formerly the vicarage, built in the late 17th century with alterations and additions from the 18th and 19th centuries. It features a timber-framed and plastered structure, with sections of painted late 17th century red brick and 19th century red brick. The roof is plain tiled and half hipped, with side stacks on the left and right wings and a rectangular ridge stack to the left of center. The building has two storeys, attics, and a cellar, designed in a half H-plan with a later southeast rear wing that includes the original staircase hall.

To the left, there is a late 19th century service wing and attached outbuildings that enclose a small yard. The north elevation presents a symmetrical facade with openings that were altered around 1800. It features a four-panelled door with a round-headed fanlight set in a double recessed round-headed brick arch. There are four recessed twelve-paned hung sash windows on the ground floor and four similar windows on the first floor. The eaves cornice is carved and moulded, and there is a painted brick plinth.

Inside, the house retains late 17th century details, including a deep cornice and two bolection moulded chimney pieces on the first floor. It has two-panelled doors, some with additional 19th century panels, and a fine closed string staircase that rises in four straight flights to the attic, featuring twisted balusters. There are two plaster panels in the west cross wing and resited early 17th century panelling in the study. The 18th century raised and fielded panelling has some 19th century restoration. The cellar includes a wine vault and an ice closet with original drainage channels.

Historically, the house served as a school in the late 18th century and was known as 'Winchester Lodge,' a boarding school for girls, in 1873. In 1896, alterations to the vicarage cost £1,266.
