The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a former rectory, now a house, dating to the mid-18th century. A lead hopper head on the north front is dated 1752 and bears the initials CG, referring to Charles Grettan, who was inducted as a clergyman in 1746. The building comprises two parallel ranges constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond, with a tiled roof and a brick chimney stack.

The east elevation is two storeys high, with five windows. It features a parapet with stone coping, a projecting central pediment with ball finials, and end quoins. A hipped dormer is present. Five windows have 12 panes of glass, with gauged brick arches above and decorative brick arches below. A central doorcase contains a round-headed fanlight with brackets, a six-panelled door, and sidelights. The north elevation has two gables with six-pane sashes. On the first floor, three windows are blocked in the centre, with two 12-pane sashes on either side. The ground floor features a Venetian window. The rear range has three bays and three hipped dormers. It includes round-headed windows on the first floor and a 20th-century brick extension to the ground floor.

A red brick garden wall is attached to the north front, incorporating a round-headed entrance arch with a keystone and impost blocks, and square gatepiers. To the west of the gatepiers, the wall is approximately 9 feet high and has six pilasters.

The interior is notable for its mid-18th century staircase featuring three turned balusters per tread, scrolled tread ends, a mahogany handrail, a modillion cornice, and a dado rail. A late 19th-century plastered front hall features Tudor roses. The dining room includes a wooden fireplace with eared architraves, a central panel depicting a female head with a sunray marble inset, and two cupboards converted into open recesses in 1823. The front drawing room has a mid-18th century fireplace with console brackets, an ovolo-moulded cornice, and an oval plastered motif on the ceiling with fruits in high relief. An early 19th-century cast iron firegrate is found in an attic bedroom. Most windows retain shutters and window seats, and the original doors are largely intact.
