Description
The Parish Clerk's House is a building that was originally a school room and clerk's house, constructed in 1817 for Alderman William Fletcher. It is made of squared and coursed limestone, featuring ashlar quoins and dressings, and has a stone-coped Welsh slate roof. The structure is two storeys high with a two-unit layout and a three-window range.
The central entrance is flanked by hood moulds over studded doors that are set in chamfered pointed architraves. To the left, there are one-light windows with hood moulds, and to the right, there are three-light windows with chamfered stone mullions. A clock is set in a moulded roundel with sunk spandrels. The gable ends feature quatrefoils, with the left gable displaying the carved arms of Fletcher. There is a 20th-century extension and outshut at the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
