Description
The Old Vicarage is a vicarage that has been converted into two houses. It was built in 1842 and has later extensions. The building features knapped flint and a slated roof, designed in an irregular plan in the Jacobethan style. It has two storeys and an attic set on a moulded plinth. There are two gables on the left and centre left, both adorned with pendant bargeboards. To the centre right, there is a projecting polygonal wing that includes a flat-roofed dormer, along with a recessed wing to the right. The building has groups of diagonal set stacks located to the left, centre, and centre right. The windows are arranged irregularly, with four three-light mullioned windows on the first floor and three three-light transomed windows on the ground floor, as well as mullioned lights in the recessed wing. To the left, there is a gabled porch featuring a ribbed door set in a four-centred arched surround, with a cross and the inscription "Ascension Day 1842" carved above the door. The Old Vicarage was built alongside the church and school following the Courtenay riots of 1838.
