Description
The Rectory is an early 17th century timber-framed and plastered house that has been substantially altered and extended in the 18th century and later. Large modern additions have been made to the southwest and southeast. The original front facade was re-faced in the 20th century with tile-hung gables and a modern porch. Some of the original structure remains, including an original chimney stack with diagonally grouped shafts. The roof is tiled.
