The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a vicarage, now serving as a house and surgery, built in 1853 by S.L. Seckham. It is constructed of coursed squared rubble with ashlar dressings and features a plain tile roof. The building is designed in the Gothic revival style with an irregular two-span plan.

The west facade has two storeys and a three-window range of three-light mullioned and transomed casements, each with stopped drip moulds. In the center, there are two-storey canted bay windows that include a blind triangular recess and a parapet adorned with kneelers and a finial. The gables on the left and right also have kneelers. The roof is punctuated by three twin-shafted chimneys, one of which is clad in brick.

Access to the building is from the east, facing Church Lane, through a porch that features a two-centred door, diagonal buttresses, and a part-stepped gable with kneelers. Above the door, there is a display of the arms of W W Stodart, the incumbent from 1853 to 1856. The Y-tracery in the side porch windows is reminiscent of the tracery found in the nearby Church of St Mary. To the left of the porch, there is a large three-light stair window. The interior has not been inspected.
