Description
The Old Vicarage is a house dating from 1830 and 1841. It is constructed of rendered brickwork with a slate roof. The main block is three stories high, with three bays across and three bays deep, featuring an entrance through a central hall. The entrance is accessed via a half-glazed door beneath a wooden portico. The windows are 12-pane sashes with partially concealed boxes and stone sills, which are extended to form string courses; the second floor has 6-pane sashes. A chimney stack is visible on the right-hand elevation and at the rear. The roof is hipped with wide eaves. A 20th-century extension is located to the left. The rear elevation features four bays, with margin-glazed sashes and stone bracketed hoods on the ground floor. A wall on the left side of the elevation incorporates a large, reset datestone bearing the initials “I. W.” and the date 1619, likely relating to John Wilde, who served as vicar from 1599 to 1663.
