The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a rectory that has been converted into a house. The eastern part dates from around 1500, while the western part was built in the early 17th century. An 18th-century extension on the eastern end has been demolished, leaving its fireplace exposed outside. There is also a 20th-century rear service wing. The building features a timber frame set on a brick sill, with a plastered front and exposed close-studding at the western end, topped with a weatherboarded gable. It has a steep old tiled roof and consists of two storeys and attics, arranged in three cells, with a side jetty facing south.

The south front showcases three four-light flush lattice leaded casements on the first floor, along with two rectangular bay windows beneath the jetty that have brick bases and four-light leaded casements with mullions and transoms. There is a four-light casement in the eastern part and a six-panel door. A small two-light window opposite the chimney likely marks the position of a former door. The main chimney features four tall grouped octagonal shafts, while the eastern chimney has two matching shafts.

The eastern bay, dating from around 1500, serves as the crosswing, jettied to the south, of a former open hall to the west. This hall was rebuilt in the early 17th century as a matching side-jettied range, reusing soot-blackened rafters from the original open hall in its rear slope. The crosswing includes close-studding, curved tension braces, a chamfered cross-beam with a pair of arched braces, a blocked doorway, and indications of a stair trap. The studding on the eastern wall of the former hall shows peg holes for the back and north back-end.

The 17th-century section to the west features depressed four-centred arched fireplaces in both the hall and the chamber above, with moulded similar fireplaces in the west parlour and the chamber above. It also has moulded and stopped beams. The mid-18th-century eastern chimney serves the eastern room and the former extension. Additionally, there is lozenge-carved decoration on the scratch-moulded panelled screen beside the parlour fireplace, which has cockspur hinges on the door.
