The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a vicarage located on Kennington Road, dating from the late 15th century with an early 17th-century extension. It features a timber-framed structure with widely spaced vertical studs and tension bracing supporting the jettied first floor of the late 15th-century section. The building has a gabled roof covered with old tiles and a 17th-century brick stack on the left end. Originally a two-unit plan, it was extended to a three-unit plan in the early 17th century.

The vicarage is two storeys high with a three-window range. It has a hollow-chamfered arched doorway adorned with carved-leaf spandrels, leading to a 17th-century plank door fitted with a grille and Norfolk latch. To the right, there is a mid-19th-century French window featuring Gothick heads, while to the left are restored 18th-century two- and three-light windows with old wrought-iron catches and fittings. Similar restored windows can be found on the first floor, including a three-light window with leaded diamond panes. The first floor is jettied and supported by a moulded bressumer from the late 15th-century range.

At the rear right, there is an 18th-century brick and tile extension that is two storeys high and one bay wide, featuring a brick end stack. Inside, the vicarage has stop-chamfered beams on the ground floor and timber-framed partitions that extend to the attic. The room to the right includes a mid-18th-century beaded stone fireplace with three painted panels depicting tulips and other designs on the overmantle. There is a mid-19th-century open-well staircase with stick balusters, along with reset early 18th-century turned balusters. The roof consists of a three-bay clasped purlin design, featuring two early 17th-century queen-post trusses on the left and late 15th-century pointed-arched windbraces in the room to the right. A large 19th-century wing attached to the left is not considered to have special architectural interest.
