Lawnswood

Lawnswood is a vicarage, dating from approximately 1843 to 1850, and now used as undertakers' premises. It was likely designed by TE Owen. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with a steep-pitched Welsh slate roof and paired octagonal brick stacks centrally to the first bay and to the right of the third bay, along with a smaller brick stack to the right of the fifth bay. It has an irregular L-plan and is built in a Neo-Jacobean style.

The exterior is two storeys with an attic to the third bay, and one storey with an attic to the fourth bay, laid out over five bays, with the first bay blinded. Bay 5 projects, and bays 1, 3, and 5 feature facing stone coped gables and kneelers. A projecting porch is situated to the left of centre in the second bay, with a facing stone coped gable and kneelers. It has a two-leaf Gothic panelled door, featuring cusped heads to each panel and a centre rail with an incised quatrefoil, a fanlight with cusped leaded lights under a four-centred brick arch, and a dripstone with moulded stops. The first floor of this bay has a four-pane sash window set under a splayed brick label. The blinded bay to the left has a projecting stack. To the right is a tripartite mullion and transomed casement window, with eight-pane lower lights and four-pane upper lights, set under a flat splayed brick arch and stone label with carved stops. The first floor has a four-pane sash window under a stone label, and the attic has a six-pane casement. Within the fourth bay on the right, there is a sixteen-pane casement set under a flat splayed stone lintel, with a single-storey lean-to porch to the right, featuring a boarded door set under a four-centred brick arch with a stone label. The first floor has a four-pane sash window, a facing stone coped dormer gable, and kneelers. A tripartite sash window is situated on the far right of the facade, with a four-pane sash window on the first floor.

The return on the right, facing the garden, has five bays, the centre bay of which projects with facing stone coped gables and kneelers. The ground floor features a two-leaf transomed casement under stone labels, and a central rectangular bay with a two-leaf French casement alongside flanking casements. The first floor has five four-pane sash windows, with the outer sashes set under projecting brick labels with flat lead roofs. The interior of the building has not been inspected.
