Description
The Vicarage, now a house, dates from the mid-16th century, with a substantial extension built in 1853-4 by G. E. Street. The original fabric is of coursed limestone rubble, while the later extension is stone ashlar. The roof is gabled and covered in stone slate. Chimneys are prominent features, including a mid-19th-century stone ashlar stack to the right gable, a large external lateral stone stack to the rear of the original wing with an ashlar flue, and a similar lateral stack to the rear of the mid-19th-century wing. The building is arranged in an L-shape with a mid-19th-century wing added to the front right.
The 16th-century wing features a lean-to porch at the angle of the wings, which contains a 20th-century door set within a moulded stone architrave incorporating reused 16th-century casement mouldings, and a reset 15th-century two-light window with cinquefoil-headed lights. Three-light moulded stone-mullioned windows with arched leaded lights are present on the front and left gable end of the 16th-century wing, while the rear has 18th-century leaded casements. The mid-19th-century wing is of one storey and attic, with a two-window front and tympanum arches above the two- and three-light cinquefoil-headed windows. A similar restored 16th-century two-light chamfered stone-mullioned window is located to the rear. The interior has not been inspected, but is likely to be of interest.
