Description

The Old Rectory is a house with an early 18th-century exterior that was extended in 1879. It is built of red brick and has a plain tiled roof. The entrance front features two storeys and an attic, set on a plinth with a plat band and a moulded modillion eaves cornice. The roof has two flat dormers and stacks on both sides. The windows are arranged irregularly, with two glazing bar sashes on the first floor, a centrally placed stair window (also a glazing bar sash), a one-storey bay window to the left, and two glazing bar sashes on the ground floor. The central door consists of six raised and fielded panels and is set in a simple columned porch.

To the right, there is a large 19th-century projection, marked with a date stone from 1879, which is two storeys high and has stacks on both sides. This projection features one glazing bar sash and one wooden casement on the first floor, and two glazing bar sashes along with one wooden casement on the ground floor. The garden front reportedly has a six-bay elevation with a modillion eaves cornice and a half-hipped roof. It includes a central two-storey porch with an elliptical doorway and a jettied first floor that has a Venetian window. The interior is also believed to be of older origin. The house was originally built in the early 17th century for Reverend James Janeway, who served as Rector from 1712 to 1739.
