Bemerton Rectory

Bemerton Rectory, originating from 1470, was restored by George Herbert in 1630 when he served as rector. The central part of the building is a 17th-century, three-storey gabled block made of chequer flint and stone, featuring stone coping on the gable and an old tile roof. On the second floor, there is an 18th-century sash window beneath a drip mould, which is likely above an older three-light stone mullioned window. The first and ground floors have two 2-light moulded stone mullioned casements, with only the right-hand ground floor window remaining in its original state; the others have been modernized.

To the left, there is an 18th or 19th-century extension made of flint with stone dressings, irregular windows, and a central arched door. A late 19th-century neo-Jacobean wing made of brick with stone dressings is located to the right. A verse by George Herbert is inscribed in stone above the doorway of the 19th-century section. The south garden front has five windows, excluding the late 19th-century part to the west. The windows include 18th and 19th-century sashes, with the central window and one to the right featuring intact tripartite glazing bars. The ground floor has leaded 19th-century easements, and there is a canted 19th-century bay in the center with a tiled pent roof. The dormers have been restored, with one remaining original. The two bays next to the late 19th-century extension are the earliest part of the building. Inside, some chamfered ceiling beams are exposed, and the staircase is Victorian, featuring thin turned balusters and panelled newels with finials. George Herbert died in this rectory.
