Description

The Rectory is a building from the mid-18th century that has undergone later alterations. Extensive rear additions from 1842, along with some earlier work, were demolished during modernization in 1953. The structure is made of colourwashed brick and features a hipped roof covered with glazed black pantiles. It has two storeys and an attic, with a six-bay facade that includes brick pilasters on the left and between the fifth and sixth bays. The sash windows, which have glazing bars in flush frames, are topped with slightly cambered brick arches; the first-floor windows have larger panes that are of a later date.

A notable feature is the two-storey Gothick porch, dating from around 1840, constructed of brick and topped with a crenellated parapet. It has a panelled wooden doorway surround and a two-centre entrance arch that contains a modern door and a glazed tympanum. Above the porch, there is a three-light first-floor window with small panes and cusped ogee heads. Inside the porch, there is a doorway with an inset six-panel entrance door, where the upper two panels are glazed, along with a semi-circular fanlight with glazing bars, panelled reveals, and early 19th-century Roman Doric pilasters. At the right gable end, the first floor overhangs, supported by three iron columns. The interior features an 18th-century staircase with turned balusters.
