Number 168 (The Old Parsonage) And Attached Wall

Number 168, known as The Old Parsonage, is a parsonage built between 1869 and 1871 by architect J.L. Pearson. It is now part of the Convent of St. Clare. The building is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with ashlar quoins and bands, and features a half-hipped plain-tile roof with a stone ashlar stack on the left. It has a double-depth plan and is designed in the Gothic Arts and Crafts style, consisting of one storey and an attic with a five-window range, including two asymmetrical gabled bays on the left.

The entrance features a studded door with wrought-iron fittings set in a double-chamfered pointed-arched archway. There are three offset buttresses marking the divisions between the bays. The tympanum arches above the two- and three-light transomed plate-tracery windows include quatrefoil carvings in each spandrel. Above the door is a three-light stone-mullioned window, and to the right is a gabled half-dormer that contains a similar wood-mullioned and transomed window. The right side has been remodelled with roughcast blocks, while the rear showcases half-timbering and stone-mullioned and transomed windows.

Additionally, there is a one-storey gallery that connects to the Church of St. Mary on the left. Inside, there is a wood-framed dog-leg staircase. The property also includes approximately five metres of limestone rubble wall with a pointed arched doorway that leads to the Old Schoolhouse on the right.
