Description
The Old Rectory, now serving as local government offices, is an early 18th-century building constructed of brick with limestone dressings and a tiled roof. It features nine window bays, including two projecting wings at either end and a recessed front. A central pair of three-panel doors is set within a Roman Doric doorcase, leading into a large stair hall located in bays three to five. The building has raised quoins and a plat band, with twelve-pane sash windows that have gauged brick flat arches. There are various windows on the side return, and the stair extends to the rear. Additionally, there is a single-storey and attic rear wing, with side stacks on the left wing and hipped roofs. Inside, the stair leading off the hall to the rear has twisted balusters, and the hall features dado panelling. The courtroom, which was formerly the dining room in the left wing, has a moulded cornice and shutters.
