Ye Olde Priest'S House

Ye Olde Priest's House is a church house with origins dating back to the 13th century. It was rebuilt in the late 16th century using earlier materials and underwent restoration in 1934, as indicated by a date on the front. The building features a mix of slatestone random rubble with granite and greenstone dressings and quoins, topped with a slate roof that has raised coped verges and a gable stack on the left.

The house has a single-room plan with a central entrance and is heated by a fireplace located at the left-hand gable end. It has been divided by a brick partition to the right of the entrance. There is an entrance to an upper room at a higher ground level at the rear. The structure is two storeys tall, with the upper room at ground level adjacent to the churchyard of the Church of St Peter to the north.

The main entrance features a tall, central, four-centred arched door opening that is chamfered, with a rebuilt lower jamb to the right. It has a 20th-century door with studs and strap hinges. To the left of the entrance is a narrow single light with a rough-cut surround, and to the right is a square single light. There are also two raking dormers, all fitted with 20th-century leaded lights.

On the right return, there is a small rectangular opening with a timber lintel located in the lower right, which is shuttered. In the gable end, there is a two-light stone mullioned window with three-centred arched heads, hollow-chamfered with a hood-mould, iron lattice, and similar glazing. The rear features a raking dormer above the door to the upper room, which has large irregular stone jambs and a 20th-century studded door. A stack is partially obscured by an adjoining building to the right.

Inside, the ground floor was originally one room but is now divided by a brick partition. The fireplace has a flat stone lintel and a chamfered corbel to the right with pyramid stops. The straight stone jamb is visible on one side, while the left side is blocked by a 20th-century partition. The upper level has 20th-century flooring and roofing.
