The Rectory

The Rectory is a house dating from the late 17th century, with additions and alterations in the early 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of red and yellow local brick from the 17th century, with 19th-century gault brick used for casing. The roof is tiled. The house has two storeys with attics and cellars and is arranged in an L-shape, consisting of a main range with a gable-end stack to the east, a south wing added with a similar gable stack, and a 19th-century north service wing. The gable-end stacks feature diaper patterning using red and yellow brick, each with three rebuilt diagonal shafts. The main range’s street facade is cased in 19th-century gault brick. The front of the house has one dormer window with six panes, two first-floor windows with twelve panes set in flush frames, and a slightly recessed window to the left of a half-glazed six-panelled door with a cast iron canopy. The interior includes ovolo moulded ceiling beams and reset 17th-century panelling.
