Description
The Old Vicarage is a former vicarage built in 1837 by H J Underwood and altered in 1924 by Waller of Gloucester. The building features coursed rubble construction with Welsh slate roofs and irregularly set ashlar chimneys that have moulded capping. It has an asymmetrical plan in a Tudor-Gothic style and is two storeys high, with a window arrangement of 1:3 on the south side. The left-hand section includes a gabled projection, and there are two-light mullion windows with glazing bars, along with stilted drips on the ground floor wing above a four-light window over the porch. The central part of the main building has a projecting gabled porch with a Tudor arched entrance and an inner half-glazed door. Inside, the vicarage features contemporary skirtings, and in the west wing, there is a high-quality imported late 18th-century marble fireplace.
