Description
The presbytery to the Church of Our Lady Help of Christians and St Denis was built in 1865, designed by Joseph Hansom. It is constructed from snecked local grey limestone with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof. The building has a deep plan, one room wide, with an entrance next to the priest's door to the church.
The exterior is asymmetrical, with a three-window front and a porch bay to the right. The front of the house is canted, featuring a coped gabled dormer in the center. The ground-floor windows have paired lancets above a stone transom, while the lower windows are fitted with 2-pane sashes. The center first-floor window is similar, and the outer first-floor windows have 2 over 4-pane sashes. The porch, set back to the right, has a gabled stone hood on brackets, a plank door with ornamental strap hinges, and a three-light stone-mullioned window above. The roof is pyramidal slate with sprocketed eaves at the ends of the main house and porch, and there is a moulded string at the first floor.
The left side of the presbytery, facing Priory Road, has a three-window front with similar windows to the main block and a shallow projecting stack to the right. The interior has not been inspected but may contain interesting features.
