The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a house, originally a vicarage, dating to the late 15th century, with alterations around 1700, an 18th-century rear wing, and further changes approximately 1800. More recently, it was restored in the 1970s and 1980s. The building is constructed from rubble. The main range contains a hall, parlour, and possibly a kitchen, while the rear wing includes three rooms, a kitchen, and a bakehouse. It presents as three gables with ball finials, characteristic of the 20th century, and two storeys with attics to the rear wing. The front has four windows on the ground floor, featuring cross windows, some 20th-century replacements. The rear wing has three windows with a mix of two- and three-light casements. A central, two-storey, gabled porch, added in the 19th century, contains a plank door set within a four-centred head. Inside, the parlour is a notable panelled room dating to around 1700, complete with a bolection moulded fireplace and a "duck's nest" grate. The hall features stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, and a staircase with turned balusters, a moulded string, and a hardrail. Around 1970, C17th panelling and two studded doors in moulded surrounds were inserted in the hall. The former kitchen to the left has chamfered beams and a late 15th or 16th-century carved stone fireplace with panelled and moulded jambs, originally from Wotton under Edge. A chamber above the hall contains a fireplace with stone surrounds and a depressed four-centred head. The roof retains a single arch-braced collar beam truss with windbrace housings, while the remaining trusses date to the 19th century.
