The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a former rectory dating from the 17th century, located on Thorley Street in Yarmouth. This building has been altered in the mid-19th century and the 20th century. It is constructed of stone rubble with red brick dressings and features an old tiled roof with an off-central right and end left brick chimneystacks. The rear slope of the roof has bands of fishscale tiles. The building has two storeys and attics in the gable ends, with four windows that contain 20th-century casements set in red brick surrounds.

There is an off-central white brick porch with a gable supported by kneelers, a round-headed entrance lined in weatherboarding, and a mid-19th-century door with stained glass. A small round-headed opening is located on the side of the porch, and there is a small circular window to the left of the door. The facade features red brick quoins halfway along. A 20th-century extension in matching materials has been added to the rear.

Inside, there is an open stone fireplace with a wooden lintel. Historical records from the inventory of the rectory of Thorley, who died in 1697, describe the house as having a hall, kitchen, and parlour on the ground floor, with a hall chamber, kitchen chamber, and parlour chambers above.
