The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a former rectory dating from the early 16th century, with alterations made in the late 19th century and around 1914. It is designed as a three-cell open hall house with a half-H plan form, featuring numerous additions to the sides and rear. The building has a two-bay hall range that is one storey high with attics, while the two-storey cross-wing consists of three bays. The structure is timber-framed and encased at the front and sides in 19th-century gault brick. The roofs are plaintiled, with three gabled casement dormers on the hall range. The 19th-century chimneys are made of gault brick, featuring diagonally-set square shafts and heavy caps. Most windows are early 20th-century casements with leaded lights, and there is a 19th-century small-paned sash window in the parlour. The entrance features a pair of half-glazed 19th-century doors with a gabled porch.

The interior has been significantly remodeled in the 19th century. Both cross-wings display small areas of heavy close-studding and arch-braced cambered tiebeams at the open trusses. The left cross-wing retains a complete crownpost roof, with a square post at the open truss supported by thick four-way braces. Although the roof over the hall has been altered, it shows no signs of smoke blackening, suggesting it may be of late-medieval origin. The roof of the right-hand wing has not been examined. An inserted first floor in the hall includes 17th-century ovolo-moulded main beams.
