Description
The Old Vicarage is a vicarage, now a house, built between 1861 and 1862 by William White. It is constructed from regularly coursed ironstone and features two brick ridge stacks on stone bases. The building has a three-unit plan and presents a two-storey garden front with three windows on the ground floor. These windows are two- and three-light stone mullions, each with stone relieving arches. The first floor has two windows set beneath steeply pitched tile-hung gables, and the roof is covered with plain tiles. A lateral stone stack is located to the left, while a bay window at the east end features a sloping plain tile roof, a French window, and a heavy stone step, along with a structural relieving arch.
On the south front, there are lateral stone stacks, an open timber porch with tile hanging, and a pointed arched entrance with a tiled hood. The wooden casement windows are adorned with stone relieving arches and hipped roofs, leading to a range of attached outbuildings. Inside, the original details are preserved in all rooms, including stone fireplaces, bay windows with shutters, beams and joists, staircases, 19th-century stained glass, and an intact arrangement of rooms. The Old Vicarage is a notable example of White's later work.
