Description

The Old Rectory is a 16th century timber-framed and plastered house that has undergone alterations and additions in the 17th century and later. It was renovated in the 20th century. The original structure was built in the cross passage style and features two storeys. Most of the windows are 20th century casements. There is a 20th century door, designed in a compatible style, which is sheltered by a tiled hood supported on brackets. The roof is hipped and covered with tiles. Inside, some of the original framing and moulded beams are exposed.
