The Tower House And Adjoining Walls

The Tower House and adjoining walls is a house built around 1900, featuring squared and coursed chalk with limestone dressings and a stone slate roof. It has a square plan and a corner stair-turret, and is designed in the Arts and Crafts style, standing at one and a half storeys. The front of the house includes a single three-light window on the first floor and a plank door with a timber lintel. The gable is asymmetrical, with limestone kneelers and a half-hipped roof topped with a gablet.

At the rear right, the circular stair-turret has a semi-circular arch with a hood mould and a moulded stone architrave above a slightly curved moulded plank door. There is also a two-light splayed stone-mullioned window and a ball finial on the conical roof. The left side of the house features late 20th-century doors and casements on the ground floor, with original three-light leaded casements above. Original rainwater heads and kneelers are present on two gables, and a circular limestone stack is located on the left.

Inside, the ground floor has been remodelled in the 20th century, but the first-floor layout remains intact. The right corridor features a tunnel vault providing access to rooms and the stair-turret. There are plank doors with semi-circular heads, strap hinges, and Norfolk latches, along with a curved planked door leading to a limestone spiral staircase, which has a plain cornice at the top of the dome.

Attached to the rear of the Tower House is a wall built around 1900, which runs from the southeast corner of the churchyard to an office. This wall is made of chalk and limestone rubble, with limestone dressings and stone slate coping. It features a triangular section coping and a central planked door set in a semi-circular arch with rebated jambs, along with a ramp leading to the Tower House. This building is part of a complex at Cantorist House, likely constructed around the same time as the alterations to the house in 1900.
