The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a house that was formerly a rectory, with a core dating from the 17th century. It was extended in the 18th century and has an early 19th-century extension at the rear. The west wall is made of stone rubble, while the south wall features brickwork on the first floor and is cement rendered below, with a one-storey extension at the rear that is completely rendered. The building has a tiled roof with two brick chimneystacks and is two storeys high with two windows. The 20th-century leaded light casements and a 19th-century gabled porch are notable features. The gable includes brick tumbling and stone kneelers, along with an attic window. The rear elevation has an external stone chimneystack that is surrounded by an 18th-century outshut, which has brick window dressings and an early 19th-century brick extension. Inside, the lounge features a spine beam with a 2-inch chamfer and lambs tongue stop, as well as an open fireplace with a chamfered beam that has a run-out stop. It is noted that the pre-Reformation Clergy House was located on a different site.
