Description

The Old Vicarage is an 18th-century house, likely built by the Reverend Odiarne Hooper, who served as Vicar from 1753 to 1769. It is two storeys high with an attic, and has five windows across the front, along with three dormers. The facade is constructed of red brick and grey headers laid alternately, with pilasters flanking the front. An eave cornice featuring wooden modillions runs along the top, and a parapet sits above. The roof is slate and mansarded. Original glazing bars remain within the windows. Brick architraves frame the ground floor windows, with panels of red brick above them. A round-headed, rusticated window is centrally positioned on the first floor. The doorway is set within a painted, rusticated surround featuring fluted Ionic pilasters and a pediment.
