The Old Parsonage

The Old Parsonage is a house that dates back to the 15th century, with alterations made in the 16th, 17th, and 20th centuries. It is timber framed and plastered, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The building features a two-bay hall facing northwest, which includes a late 16th-century axial stack in the right bay. To the left, there is a three-bay crosswing with an external stack on the left return wall, and to the right, a two-bay crosswing. At the rear, there is a parallel range from the 17th century, and a service range to the right that has a thatched roof.

The house is two storeys high and has a three-window range of 20th-century casements. The entrance features a six-panel door with glazed top panels. The left crosswing has late 16th-century bargeboards that are carved with grotesque beasts and grouped diagonal shafts. The right crosswing contains a chamfered binding beam with step stops, heavy plain joists that are jointed to it with unrefined soffit tenons, an underbuilt jetty, and diamond mortices for unglazed windows from the 15th century.

In the 17th century, the walls were raised and the roof was rebuilt along the main range. The hall has a 16th-century inserted floor with chamfered axial and transverse beams, and plain joists of horizontal section that are jointed to them with soffit tenons featuring diminished haunches. The left crosswing retains its original crownpost roof with axial braces and has a chamfered binding beam with step stops.

A notable feature of the house is the staircase at the rear of the hall, which dates to the late 16th century. It rises in two straight flights with an intermediate landing, and has a moulded handrail along with eight chamfered posts that have lamb's tongue stops and elaborate moulded square finials. Additionally, there are five doors made of moulded planks on ledges, dating from around 1600.
