Old Cavell Vicarage

Old Cavell Vicarage is a vicarage built in 1865 for the Reverend Frederick Cavell. It is constructed of brick with stone quoins and some stone dressings, topped with a slate roof featuring bands of hexagonal slates. The building is square in shape, consisting of three bays and two storeys. Each facade has a gable on the left-hand bay, with the east and south facades displaying decorative cusped and pierced barge boards. There is a double sawtooth brick cornice and a decorative platband, along with quoined stone surrounds and segmental arches made of brick and stone for the openings.

The entrance facade on the east side features a three-light transomed casement in the first bay on the ground floor, and a three-light casement on the first floor, which has a pointed relieving arch with moulded decorative bricks. The gable displays the initials F C and the year 1865 in stone. The central bay contains a pointed Gothick doorway with an octagonal light and two blank trefoils in stone beneath the arch, leading to a double-leaved part-glazed door that opens into an internal porch. The third bay has a bay window on the ground floor, which has a slate roof and a decorative brick cornice, with four-light transomed casements featuring stone quoins.

On the south garden facade, the first bay includes a triangular sectioned bay window to the left and a cross window to the right on the ground floor. The first floor opening mirrors that of the east facade but has a flat stone lintel and stone dressings only at the corners. The central bay is recessed, while the third bay features a large canted bay on the ground floor with a pierced trefoil parapet, ashlar on the lower part of the bay, and brick above. The central cant has double-leaved part-glazed doors, with side cants featuring cross windows, and the first floor has a three-light casement.

The north facade has a gable end external stack on the first bay, with double Gothick lights on the ground floor to the right. Bays two and three have two and three-light casements on the first floor, respectively, and there is a Gothick doorway between bays two and three. Old Cavell Vicarage is listed as an unaltered example of a mid-19th century parsonage and is notable for its historical associations; Frederick Cavell served as vicar from 1863 to 1909, and the vicarage was also the home of Edith Cavell, who was born in 1863 and died in 1915.
