Description

Old Church House is a house dating from the mid-16th century. It is timber-framed and has two storeys. The elevation facing the churchyard features red brick infill and a deeply jettied upper floor. The street front is plastered and has a floor band, with a first-floor leaded oriel window and ground-floor casements. The roof is covered with old tiles and has a half-hipped design. On the west side, there are two 18th or 19th-century casements with modern leading. There is also an 18th-century lean-to addition on the north side, which has two leaded casements under wooden lintels.
