Old Rectory

The Old Rectory, now a house, was originally built in the early 17th century and subsequently altered and extended in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of limestone rubble with wooden lintels, and has a Stonesfield-slate roof with brick gable stacks. The building is arranged in an L-shape.

The front of the house, facing the garden, projects forwards, particularly in the larger left section. This section has two two-light leaded casement windows at first floor, and a blocked central window. At ground floor there is a central doorway with a leaded overlight and pyramid chamfer stops to the lintel, a two-light casement, and a 19th-century canted bay window. The right section of the front features an old three-light casement window at first floor, with very old leaded glazing. The ground floor here is obscured by a low link to a two-storey rubble service wing, likely of the 18th century, which retains an old plank door. The left gable wall of the main range is rendered, and was probably once an internal wall. The rear of the house has an outshut, but the right section retains three-light casement windows. The right gable wall, featuring a bread-oven projection, faces the road.

Inside, the smaller section of the house has a wide open fireplace with stop-chamfered lintel and restored jambs. The larger section contains a large ground floor room, formerly sub-divided, with two ovolo-moulded cross beams featuring diamond and fleur-de-lys stops. The building was replaced as the rectory in 1833 and was probably partly demolished at that time.
