Description
The Old Rectory is a former rectory with origins in the 17th century, though the east front was largely rebuilt in the early 18th century, with alterations made in 1897. It is constructed of rubble stone, with an ashlar front and slate roofs. The end stacks are of ashlar. The building is two storeys and has an attic.
The formal east front, said to date from around 1712-16, features five windows arranged vertically with raised panels, rusticated angle piers, and horizontal mouldings. The design includes a plinth, string course, and eaves cornice that projects over the window bays and piers. The windows are 19th-century sashes in raised, moulded surrounds. A central 6-panel door with a traceried overlight, apparently from the early 19th century, is set within a shallow raised surround featuring reeded strips, roundel decoration, and a shallow pediment.
A parallel rear range includes a large arched doorway in the north end, with a 19th-century hoodmould above a first-floor window, and a gable plaque inscribed 'Nisi Dominus 1897'. The rear also has scattered sash windows and an 18-pane stairlight. A south range features two ridge stacks, two first-floor, ovolo-moulded, three-light mullion windows dating to the 17th century, and a projecting single-storey range of outbuildings to the northwest. The south front is roughcast and has scattered 19th-century sash windows.
