Former Parochial Offices

The former Parochial Offices, built in 1894 and opened in May 1895, were designed by Nunn and Hunt for the Board of Guardians and Registrar. The building is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with dressings of Portland stone, polished granite, and possibly terracotta, and a tile roof.

The building is two storeys high with seven windows across the front. The street facade comprises a gabled entrance bay, with three-window ranges to either side, the right range slightly longer. The round-arched entrance is flanked by columns of pink polished granite with foliage capitals, supporting an architrave inscribed 'PAROCHIAL OFFICES' with a keystone flanked by dolphins and carrying the date. Above the arch is a fanlight and panelled double doors of original design. The entrance is flanked by two narrow, round-arched windows and slightly projecting piers carried up to the gable kneelers.

The side windows are of two and three lights with stone dressings. On the ground floor, from the entrance, they run in a rhythm of 2-3-3, with the lights round-arched and featuring detached polished pink granite columns with foliage capitals between them, a pointed extrados, and a dripmould over. The exception is the extreme left-hand window, which, although broadly Gothic in detail, is Palladian. The ground floor is stop-chamfered at its left-hand corner, with wave-mouldings transitioning to the angle of the first floor.

On the first floor, a central oriel features a moulded corbel, four lights with one transom, Tudor-arched heads, and a hipped lead roof. The side windows are similarly Tudorish, of two and three lights, and run out from the centre in a rhythm of 2-3-3 to the right and 2-3-2 to the left. There is a moulded sill band. The central gable has a band of blank arcading along its base, a wheel window in the centre of the arcade, finials to the kneelers, and bands of fish-scale brickwork to its face. Bracketed eaves to the side ranges, possibly of terracotta, and the ridge stacks are now truncated.

The interior has not been inspected.
