Parsonage House

Parsonage House is a house dating probably from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th century, and standing on the site of an earlier building. The house is constructed of chalk rubble with brick dressings, and has a hipped pantile roof and a large brick chimney of an irregular plan located off-centre to the left. A late-19th century gabled projection, facing with Cotswold stone onto the rubble, is on the right-hand side, with two gabled dormers above. The ground floor has two ranges of windows with segmental heads; to the left, a tripartite glazing bar sash window, and to the right, a four-light casement window. A large, tiled, gabled porch is situated on the axis of the church, featuring a plank door. The lintel above the door is chamfered with ball decoration, and has sarcen stone jambs. On the rear elevation is a three-light ovolo mullion window retaining an old casement, possibly dating from around 1700. Internally, there is an inglenook fireplace. On the first floor is a fireplace with cast iron reeded sides and a cast sphinx grate head - the grate is said to have come from a house once lived in by I.K. Brunel. Also on the first floor is a fragment of a beam from the earlier roof.
