Description

Holy Trinity Vicarage is a vicarage dated 1889, as noted on the rainwater head, and was built for the Reverend Richard Martin. The building features squared rubble construction with hung slates on the second storey and dressed stone details. It has a hipped slate roof with coved eaves, four tall brick slab stacks with decorative bands, and a later four-light dormer.

The vicarage is two storeys high with an attic and has six windows. The main block includes a lower service wing to the right. There is an arched entrance doorway with a fanlight to the left on the main front, and above the doorway is a lean-to hood supported by a pair of re-used early 18th-century painted wood console brackets with carved acanthus scrolls. The ground floor features sash windows set in chamfered dressed stone frames. On the first floor, there are two transom and mullion windows, one of which lights the stairwell, along with additional sashes. The garden front has two large, single-height, framed bay windows.

Inside, the ground-floor room in the southeast corner of the main block boasts a 15th-century ceiling with richly moulded cross beams and cornice beams arranged in three by two bays, with eight moulded joists in each bay. The intersections of the beams are adorned with large, finely carved bosses, each featuring an armorial shield backed by leaves and vines. Many of the bosses have been halved at the cornice beam junctions, indicating that this ceiling was originally part of a larger structure. The various arms on the bosses have not been identified. Flanking the chimney breast above the doorway and shelf recess are timber four-centred arches, with carved spandrels that may date to the 16th century.

This 19th-century vicarage was constructed to replace an earlier house to the east, which may have been late medieval in origin. It is listed for the special interest of its 15th-century ceiling.
