The Rectory

The Rectory is a house that was formerly used as a rectory, built between 1725 and 1730. It features a timber frame that is plaster rendered and pargetted, with an early 19th-century gault brick casing on the front and west walls. The building has a hipped tiled roof with paired internal stacks and a square plan. It stands two storeys tall with an attic and has a symmetrical main front that includes three windows, which are 19th-century twelve-pane hung sashes. The central doorway is set within a round-headed arch and features an early 18th-century doorcase that has been reset. The doorcase includes raised and fielded panelled reveals, a pulvinated frieze, and an entablature, while the door itself is six raised and fielded panels. To the east, there is an 18th-century kitchen wing constructed of clunch on a gault brick plinth, with a tiled roof and a single storey. Inside, there are opposing front and rear doorways, an early 19th-century stick baluster staircase, and moulded and raised and fielded panelling in two heights in the study. The Rectory was built during the time of Rev. John Warde.
