Queen Anne House Including Tower To Rear

This is an early 18th-century former vicarage. It’s constructed of coursed squared rubble with ashlar dressings and has a 20th-century tiled roof. The building is two storeys and an attic, with a symmetrical 4-window front. The front door, situated to the right of centre, is a 6-panelled door (with 4 panes of glass) and has a fanlight with radial glazing bars, a stone architrave, and a later hood supported by consoles. Sash windows have thick glazing bars and lugged architraves with keyblocks. There are two timber-clad gabled windows. The gables have kneelers, stone copings, and end chimneys. A Saxon-style tower was added to the rear by Thomas Silver, the incumbent vicar from 1828 to 1853. The house’s interior contains 18th-century panelled doors, window shutters, and fireplaces. It appears to have been remodelled in the late 18th century. The addition of the 19th-century tower reflects the interests of Thomas Silver, who was also the Rawlinson Professor of Anglo-Saxon.
