The Old Dower House

The Old Dower House, formerly known as the Red House, is a house built as a rectory in the mid-18th century for Jacob Chilton, who was rector from 1725 to 1765. It is constructed of red Flemish bond brick and features a plain tile roof. The building has two storeys with an attic and presents a symmetrical entrance front with three bays. The central doorway is framed by a classical surround with a panelled reveal, and the door itself consists of six raised and fielded panels topped by a fanlight that extends into an open dentilled pediment supported by scroll brackets.

Flanking the doorway are mid-19th century canted bay windows, each topped with hipped 20th-century roofs. On the first floor, there is a central sash window with three panes by four panes, flanked by tripartite windows that have central sashes of three panes by four panes and lateral sashes of one pane by four panes. All windows feature heads made of gauged brick, although the surrounds of the lateral windows appear to be of renewed brick. A dentilled cornice runs below the eaves, and there are three dormer windows in the attic, each with flat roofs and sashes of three panes by two panes.

On the left side, there are two gables; the right gable is blank, while the left has sash windows on the ground and first floors, each with three panes by four panes. The chimney stacks are flush with each gable and consist of three flues. The right side features a projecting 19th-century wing with a half-glazed door that has a cambered head. To the left of this door is a two-light cambered-headed window, and to the right is a three-light window, along with a ribbon window on the first floor. There is a slightly recessed outshut to the left, which has a cambered-headed two-light window on the right and a half-glazed door with a cambered head to the left of centre. To the left of this door is a three-light cambered-headed window, and to the right is a sash window with three panes by four panes. On the first floor, there are three sash windows, each with three panes by four panes. The attic includes a central two-light dormer and two lateral single-light dormers. The interior has not been inspected.
