The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is an early 17th-century rectory, later altered in the mid-18th century and extended in the early 19th century, now a detached house. The structure is primarily of rendered timber framing, with portions tile-hung. A central brick stack is visible, along with an early 19th-century wing with a hipped tiled roof and Flemish bond construction.

The original plan comprised a three-bay 17th-century range, formerly serving as a baffle entry, with an integral outshut to the rear. Later wings were added to the rear and to the left return. The front elevation is two storeys high with a four-window arrangement. A six-panelled door, featuring a pediment and guilloche frieze, is located to the left of the 17th-century build. To the right are 16-pane and 12-pane sash windows, characteristic of the early 19th-century wing. The first floor of the 17th-century part features a round-headed fixed central window, flanked by 16-pane sash windows.

The right return displays a 16-pane ground floor sash window with a 20th-century casement to the outshut, as well as tile-hung first floor with a two-light attic casement. The left return has two French windows and two 12-pane sashes on the ground floor, with three sashes and a blind window on the first floor. A rubble stone wing, dating back to the late 17th century, is attached to the rear of the 17th-century range, featuring ovolo or recessed chamfered mullioned casements on its east side. This wing was extended in the late 18th century using brick construction, incorporating a planked door and leaded or wooden casements.

Inside, the entrance hall of the 17th-century range retains a chamfered beam with ogee stops. The east room features an open fireplace with a depressed arched stone lintel on chamfered jambs. The west room has a bolection-moulded fireplace flanked by fielded-panelled cupboards. A first-floor bedroom features a fireplace with an egg and dart moulded surround and cornice. The roof is of five unequal bays, incorporating trusses with collars and interrupted tie beams, along with diminished principals and two tiers of purlins. The early 19th-century wing contains six-panelled doors and a marble fireplace. A large open fireplace exists in the 17th-century kitchen wing; it features chamfered stone jambs but is missing its lintel.
