Description
St Giles's Vicarage is a 18th-century building located on Church Street. It is constructed of red brick with headers on a plinth and features a moulded brick cornice, a parapet, and a hipped tiled roof. The vicarage has four segmental-headed glazing bar sash windows on the first floor to the east, and two later 19th-century seven-light angled bay windows on the ground floor. There is a stepped chimney to the south and a double ridge roof. To the west, there is a two-window extension with a band course, also featuring glazing bar sashes, with thick glazing bars on the ground floor. The entrance is located to the right of this extension and leads into a loggia built in 1872 that connects to a two-and-a-half-storey hall-wing with five windows. Inside, the vicarage has a panelled hall with egg and dart moulding on the cornice and an oak staircase with turned balusters.
