6/196 No. 30 (The Rectory)

II

Rectory built in 1819 by James Webster for Rev. John Brocklebank to replace an earlier house, fragments of which may have been incorporated in the present building. Grey gault brick with slate roofs and end stacks to each gable end. The guttering at the front is masked by a moulded wood eaves cornice with paired brackets. The house is built on a plan of two parallel, linked ranges. Two storeys. The main front is to the garden and has four recessed hung sashes in flat, gauged brick arches to each floor. The first floor windows have later C19 louvred shutters. The principal entry is in the West gable end of the rear range almost beneath the valley. Reeded doorcase with boss enrichments at the corners. Door with eight beaded panels and above a rectangular fanlight with glazing bars. Above the doorway is a similar recessed hung sash and on either side a blind recess. Inside the house retains its original plan with the incumbents study off the corridor. The staircase and plaster cornice mouldings are original, as are the reeded doorcases and a fireplace.
