Description

The Vicarage is a building dating from around 1807, constructed of brick with a pantiled roof and featuring hipped roofs. It is two storeys high and has sash windows with glazing bars. The eaves are wide and mutular. The entrance is located at the east end and includes a closed porch with a fielded panel radial bar fanlight. Above the entrance, there is a window on the first floor, and there are full height arched recesses on each side. The south side of the building has three windows on each floor. The Vicarage was built by the Reverend C H Wollaston, replacing a large medieval house, the moats of which still remain.
