St Mary'S Side Vicarage

St Mary's Side Vicarage is a complex of buildings, dating to the mid-16th century and earlier, with substantial additions in the late 18th and 19th centuries. It is timber framed and plastered, with peg tile roofs. The building presents a very irregular plan. The road-facing end is a two-storey block with a gable and peg tile roof, displaying exposed mid-16th century timber framing, including serpentine bracing and jowls, along with traces of an original first-floor window. A segmental-headed dormer is visible in the south roof slope, and there are three double-hung sash windows with small panes on the first floor. The ground floor has a lean-to conservatory and a large double-hung sash window. At right angles to this and running north-south is a block with a gabled peg tile roof and one small over one very large double-hung sash window. A long range parallel to the street, north of the 16th-century block, has two dormers. It features two double-hung sash windows above three old cast-iron light casements on the ground floor. At the rear, a two-storey, half-hipped roof block dating to the late 18th century has large double-hung sash windows facing west. A two-storey, late 19th-century red brick, peg tile roofed extension is located on the north-west corner. Three 19th-century brick stacks are positioned on a gable end, one on the main ridge line, and one to the rear of the southern block. To the north, a two-storey, slate hipped roofed coach-house dating to the mid-19th century is constructed of red brick, with a loft, access door, and one large opening. The interior reveals a mid-16th century, two-storey wing, formerly jettied to the front, with two bays, featuring delicately moulded floor and ceiling joists. The roof retains remains of the original side purlin and windbracing structure. The southern wing likely originates from the 17th century. The western block dates to the late 18th century and has a contemporary staircase with simple turned balusters. The northern roadside range exhibits massive jowled posts, thick bracing rising near the floor, and a moulded side girt, suggesting the substructure of a first-floor hall dating to the 13th or 14th century. Late 18th-century cornices, doors, skirtings, dados, and wooden shutters are found in several rooms. A late 17th-century service stair is located to the north of the present kitchen.
