The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a house, formerly a rectory, dating from the 17th century with alterations from several periods. It has two storeys and features a timber-framed structure that is rendered, with herringbone pargetting in bold raised panels; the south side is from the 18th century, while the north side was restored in the 20th century. The roofs are covered with plain tiles and include axial and gable chimneys made of red brick, with the axial 17th-century chimney displaying saw-tooth pattern flues. The building has a mix of casement and sash windows, with some 18th-century mullioned and transomed windows featuring leaded lights on the south side. There is a 20th-century panelled entrance door. The main range consists of three cells, and there is a small service wing likely added in the late 19th century on the south side. Inside, the parlour contains some restored 18th-century panelling and window shutters. The main roof was destroyed by fire and rebuilt around 1970.
