Description
The Old Rectory is a late 17th-century rectory, later used as a detached house. It was extended in the 1930s. The building is constructed of dressed limestone with a tiled roof featuring bands of beaver-tail tiles and has gable end stone stacks. The layout is in an L-shape. The main front has two storeys and four windows. It features a blocked doorway with a 2-light mullioned casement inserted to the left of the centre, a 3-light recessed chamfered mullioned casement with a hoodmould to the left, and a 2-light and a 3-light mullioned casement with hoodmoulds to the right. The first floor has two 2-light mullioned casements to the centre and 3-light mullioned casements to either side. The rear elevation incorporates 20th-century mullioned casements in a 1930s wing. A later wing, accessed on the north side, includes a Tudor-arched doorway with a transom light, a mullioned and transomed stair window to the left in a projecting stair turret, and an outshut to the left containing a mullioned casement for the kitchen. The interior was remodelled in the 20th century, but retains chamfered beams and two open fireplaces with chamfered lintels on stone jambs. The building served as the rectory after the 1930s and until 1976.
