• II

Vicarage, now house. Early C19 and mid C19, altered C20; stables possibly C18. Limestone ashlar and coursed squared rubble with ashlar dressings; Welsh-slate with buff brick stacks. Double-depth plan with added wing. 2 storeys. Symmetrical 3-window ashlar front of main range, with storey band and plain keyblock architraves to openings, has a central 6-panel door, with rectangular overlight and C20 Regency-style porch, and has tripartite sashes in the outer bays, lowered in the centre to take glazed doors; first floor has 12-pane sashes. Double-span hipped roof with flanking stacks. Added lower rubble wing to right has deep stone-mullioned windows, with labels and sashes, irregularly arranged. Rear of main range has a 3-window arrangement of plain sashes, 5-panes deep at ground floor, now partly obscured by a C20 extension. A rubble stable range attached to the rear corner of the main range, and parallel to the wing, has a steep slated roof and retains coach-house, loft and stable doors plus small windows, mostly with stop-chamfered lintels. Interior not inspected. Noted as "extended" in 1823, but this is probably the date of the main range. (V.C.H.: Oxfordshire, Vol.VI, p.347).
