Upper Church House

Upper Church House is a former rectory of St. John's Church, now functioning as a house. It dates from the early 17th century and features a three-cell lobby-entrance design. The building has two storeys and attics, constructed with a timber frame and rendered exterior, topped with double Roman tiles.

An internal chimney stack has saw tooth shafts set on a square base. The windows are small-paned, three-light metal casements on both storeys, with the ground floor windows being deeper than those above. There are two high gabled dormers, each with similar two-light windows, and the ridge of their roofs aligns with the main roof ridge. A single-storey fully enclosed gabled porch has a two-light window above it.

On the east side, there is a lean-to extension. The frame consists of six bays, which includes the remains of a chimney bay. Each side of the stack has a two-bay room, featuring heavy chamfered main beams with scroll-stops and grooves. The central room has an open fireplace with a plain timber lintel and jambs made of whitewashed stone blocks.

The unheated one-bay room at the east end, which contains the staircase, has exposed studding and ceiling, with plain unchamfered joists. The prominent sill-beams rest on brick plinths, indicating this bay may be an extension, though the frame above does not show signs of a clear join. On the upper storey, there are cambered tie-beams with arched braces that have been removed, and several original diamond-mullioned windows have been blocked. The roof has been renewed.
