Description
The Vicarage, together with its attached coachhouse, dates to the early 18th century. It is constructed of ashlar stone with an old tiled roof, featuring three widely spaced hipped dormers with double-hung sashes. There are three stone and brick chimney stacks and a dentilled eaves cornice. The building is two storeys and an attic, with a first-floor band.
The main entrance is on the right, featuring a four-panel door with two flush panels, set within a good stone doorcase. The doorcase has plain reveals, an eared architrave, a pulvinated frieze, and consoles supporting a dentilled triangular pediment. Sashes with plain stone architraves and keyblocks are present; two windows are to the right of the door, three to the left, and six to the first floor. A low stone wall links the house to an 18th-century stone coachhouse with an old tiled roof, containing a door on the left and a carriageway door on the right.
The Vicarage was the home of John Newton, while he served as curate of Olney from 1764 to 1780. He was a friend of William Cowper and collaborated with him on the Olney Hymns.
