Description
The Old Rectory House is an early 16th century timber-framed hall house that underwent restoration in the 1890s by the antiquarian G M Arnold and architect Sir Herbert Baker. During the restoration, rebateless mullions were revealed, suggesting the original windows were unglazed, and soot-stained roof timbers were found, indicating the building initially lacked a chimney. A 1656 token discovered in the ground floor ceiling plaster shows the hall was divided into two storeys after that date. The timber frame was left exposed and infilled with roughcast render. The roof is tiled, with both hipped and gabled sections. The ground floor now has 19th-century windows, including a gabled porch. The first floor retains sash windows with intact glazing bars.
