Description
The Old Rectory is a rectory that has been converted into a private house. It was designed by Thomas Allom for the Reverend Whitwell Elwin around 1860 in the Jacobean style. The building features red brick with limestone dressings and has steeply-pitched plain-tiled roofs with crested ridges. It is two storeys high with attics. The windows are two and three-light mullion and transom types, set in chamfered stone surrounds. There is a plain stone string course at the first floor level. On the east side, there is a canted bay window with a pierced stone balustrade. The gables are shaped and include stone kneelers, coping, and ball finials. A stone modillion eaves course is present, along with chimney stacks that have double and triple shafts with moulded caps and bases. The gables also feature semi-circular headed attic windows with keystones and imposts. The entrance loggia, located between the cross-wings on the north side, has three three-centred arches with keystones and a pierced stonework balustrade. To the west, there is a one-storey service wing with a parapetted gable and a moulded brick chimney stack. Some ground floor windows at the south-east corner contain good stained glass roundels.
