The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a former rectory for the parish of All Saints and St. Nicholas in South Elmham, built in 1862 for the Rev. Samuel Boise Turner. This building showcases a form of Victorian Gothic architecture and is two storeys tall with an irregular shape. It is constructed of red brick, featuring white brick and some stone details, and has a slate roof that is both hipped and gabled, with wide eaves overhangs. The windows are casement style, and there is a ground-floor bay window topped with a polygonal roof. The entrance features a double porch. Inside, the rectory includes stone chimney-pieces in three ground-floor rooms, adorned with purpose-made polychrome tiles. In the drawing-room, the fireplace has a window directly above it, with tiled reveals that display the original owner's initials, S.B.T.
