Parsonage Court

Parsonage Court is a house that was originally a parsonage, with origins dating back to the 17th century and later extensions made in the 18th and 19th centuries, along with internal alterations. The building features cob and rubble walls, mostly rendered, with exposed rubble on the ground floor of the left-hand side. It has a flipped thatch roof and brick stacks at either end, as well as one axial stack. There is a large rubble stack with a brick shaft located laterally to the right-hand rear wing.

The original plan of the house was likely a two-room layout, both heated by end fireplaces. In the 18th century, an additional room was added to the left-hand end, along with a rear stair projection. During the 19th century, outshuts were constructed along the rear wall, and a wash-house was added in a single-storey wing behind the right-hand end. A granary was built, set back from the left-hand end of the house, in the 18th or early 19th century. Around 1900, this granary was converted for domestic use, and the house underwent significant internal remodeling, with a wing added behind the left-hand end, possibly for servant's accommodation. A further service range that encloses the courtyard at the rear was built either at this time or during the latter half of the 19th century.

The exterior of the house is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical four-window front featuring early to mid-20th century three-light casements. The left-hand end of the house projects slightly, and to its right is a panelled and part-glazed door from the 19th or early 20th century, set behind an elaborate Edwardian wooden lattice porch. A modern double part-glazed door is located at the right-hand end. Set back from the left-hand end is the former granary, which has a large early 20th century bay window on the first floor against the left-hand end wall. The wing extends to the rear, with a carriageway going beneath it to the courtyard.

Inside, most of the features date from the remodeling around 1900, but one original fireplace remains, showcasing a chamfered and stopped wooden lintel. Parsonage Court forms an attractive group with its thatched farm buildings and holds an important position adjacent to the churchyard.
