Description

The Toll House, now an office, was built in the early 19th century. It is constructed from brick with decorative brick arches over the windows, resting on a limestone ashlar plinth. The roof is covered with plain tiles and Welsh slate. The building’s design includes a half-octagon that projects forward from the main rectangular section, with a further outshut at the rear.

The front of the building features a central doorway with a stone canopy supported by carved brackets, and a sash window behind it. The canted sides of the octagon have 12-pane sash windows recessed within arched openings. Leaded casement windows in the end walls of the rectangular section are also set within segmental-arched recesses. A central octagonal brick chimney rises from a hipped roof. The outshut has further leaded casements and a plank door. Inscriptions on the plinth detail several flood events, the earliest recorded in 1823. The interior of the building has not been inspected.

An old churchyard wall, likely dating back to the 17th century or earlier, runs approximately 35 metres to the left and 1 metre to the right of the toll house. The wall, built from large limestone ashlar blocks, has later brick coping.
