The Rectory House

The Rectory House is a hall-house, originally dating to the early 14th century, and altered in 1679. It was substantially rebuilt in the 1870s by Rev. H.R. Lloyd. The exterior is a mixture of materials: a flagstone base with bands of knapped flint, restored in Bath stone, and with some red brick in a Flemish bond pattern. The roofs are covered in plain tiles. The building maintains an open hall plan, although a service wing to the west has been demolished. The main hall runs east to west, with the upper end towards the east. It is two storeys high, with stacks at the rear and on the end of a low projecting wing to the right. The windows are very irregularly placed, combining cross-windows and 2-, 3- and 4-light windows set within surrounds featuring Caernarvon arches. There are doorways with 2-centred arches on the north side and in the angle between the hall and a projecting parlour wing to the right, which is a two-storey red brick extension. Inside, two service doorways are found in the west wall of the hall, each featuring pointed arches, hollow chamfers, and broach stops. A third door in the south end wall may have originally led to a staircase. There are doorways in the southeast corner of the hall in the south wall, and a smaller one in the east wall. A window in the north wall incorporates stone seats.
