The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a house that was formerly used as a rectory, built in the early 18th century. It features a symmetrical front facing east, with two storeys, an attic, and a cellar, comprising five windows. The hipped roof is adorned with two hipped-roofed dormers that contain casement windows. The exterior is constructed of red brick laid in Flemish bond, with rubbed flat arches, stone cills, a moulded stone plinth, and moulded stone frames around the two small coupled basement windows. The entrance is marked by a 20th-century classical Ionic doorcase, which includes a pediment, pilasters, a fanlight, and a six-panelled door. This is approached by a stone-flagged front with five steps that radiate outwards. On the south elevation, the house is rendered and features a Venetian window along with a large French window. Notably, a Venetian east window in the nearby church, which has an Ionic Order, is dated 1723, suggesting a possible date for the construction of the house.
