Description

The Vicarage, in Martham, dates from the early 16th century, with alterations made in the 19th century. It is constructed of brick, quaternary flint, and chert, with a thatched roof. The south front displays alternating header brickwork and flintwork. The front has two storeys and four bays, featuring a 20th-century half-glazed door positioned to the left of centre. Sash windows with glazing bars, inserted into brick 19th-century openings, are present. Scars of former window openings are visible. The hipped roof has two rebuilt ridge stacks symmetrically arranged. The west gable has brick quoins, and three arched windows are blocked, two on the first floor. Mid-20th-century windows have been added. The east gable is similar, with blocked windows remaining – two to the ground floor, with four-centred arches. Two putlog holes survive on the first floor. The rear features a full-height 19th-century extension of brick headers alternating with whole flints, including a flat-topped porch, three sash windows, and one casement. A further 19th-century kitchen extension is located to the west, and to the east of the porch is a section of 16th-century diagonal walling incorporating a four-centred arch and a continuous diagonal built-out brick corbel, which likely indicates the original site of a staircase.

The interior has been altered. Extending south from east and west of the front facade are brick and flint walls. A brick coping is present. Within the eastern stretch of wall is a rounded projection, lit by slit windows, now truncated to the height of the garden wall but originally taller. The garden walls extend to the south, enclosing the grounds.
