Former Vicarage

The Former Vicarage is a house built around 1852, constructed from polychrome brick with plain tiled roofs. It is two storeys high with attics and showcases a High Victorian "Reformed" or "modern Gothic" style. The entrance front features a central two-storey gabled porch, which is flanked by a returned gable of the garden front and a set-back double pile range. The porch includes gothic arched boarded doors, a first-floor casement window, an angle buttress, and decorative polychrome patterned brick along with an applied timber frame in the gable. The set-back wing bay has a ground floor three-light casement window beneath a pointed gothic polychrome arch with a patterned spandrel, and a first-floor three-light casement window under a segmental arch. The returned garden gable has a large externally expressed stack. The garden front has three bays and includes a second pile service wing. This building may have been constructed as part of the same campaign as the nearby Church of St Alban, also built around 1852.
