Description
Brerewood House and the Vicarage are an early 16th-century vicarage and adjoining house, significantly restored with early 20th-century additions at the rear. The original house was built in 1520 by Canon Brerewood, who was Chancellor to Bishop Veysey, and was noted by Leland as "a fair House." The structure is made of stone rubble with freestone dressings and has a slate roof that is both gabled and hipped. It has two storeys and an irregular plan.
The Vicarage, located to the left (south-west), has undergone heavy restoration and features a porch with a stepped gable and a moulded four-centred arch. It is a two-storey building with a two-window range, showcasing large late 19th-century moulded wood mullion windows, complete with dripmoulds on the ground floor.
Brerewood House, situated at the north-east end, has an L-shaped layout with a hipped roof wing and a large gabled wing that features a stepped moulded parapet. This wing includes a moulded stone mullion window with four four-centred arch lights and a dripmould, situated above a moulded four-centred arch doorway that displays the carved arms of Bishop Veysey above it. The building has rebuilt brick end chimney stacks and a red brick early 20th-century wing at the rear.
