The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a former rectory built around 1730, with alterations made between 1820 and 1824. The building is timber-framed, with the front encased in gault brick from around 1820, while the sides and rear are plastered. It features hipped roofs covered with plain tiles and has three casement dormers from around 1980 that replicate earlier 18th-century designs, complete with heavy moulded pediments. The internal chimneys are made of red brick, with the shafts rebuilt around 1980. The structure has two storeys and attics, and it includes seven windows that are small-pane sashes with flat arches made of gauged brick; one of the window frames is believed to be dated 1824. The entrance doorway, dating from around 1820, consists of a pair of doors with four fielded panels each, flanked by a fluted architrave with paterae and a shallow cornice adorned with paired modillions on the soffit. Inside, there is a staircase from around 1730 featuring a moulded handrail and turned balusters. Three rooms are notable for their full-height panelling, which includes large panels set in moulded frames, as well as deep ceiling cornices.
