Pilgrims The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage, now divided into two separate houses known as The Old Vicarage and Pilgrims, was built in 1865 by E J Tarver. It is constructed of coursed rubble stone with flush quoins and features a stone slate roof, along with stone stacks that have large grouped brick flues with oversailing courses.

The southern range, The Old Vicarage, is two storeys high with an attic and includes a former bell tower and chapel at the southeast corner. It has four windows, with a two-storey projecting canted bay on the left that features a 1/3/1-light stone mullion and transoms, while the other windows have 3/2/1-light wood mullion and transoms. The ground floor windows are similar but have segmental stone heads on the non-bay windows. There are three hipped dormers and a small octagonal bell tower that is two storeys tall, featuring a narrow door on the ground floor and a carved inscription noting the birthplace of Ralph Vaughan Williams. The small chapel has a tile floor and a 2-light window to the west and a 3-light window to the east. The interior of this house has been completely altered.

The northern range, Pilgrims, originally served as the front of the house and is also two storeys high. It is linked by a gateway to a mid/late 18th-century cottage on the left. This range features a large, steeply gabled two-storey porch on the left with a sprocketed roof, a pointed arch window with a blind arch, and a 2-light wood mullion and transom above the entrance, which has a half-glazed door. To the right, there are two small gables of different sizes with one and two-light wood mullion and transoms, as well as a 3-light window below with a segmental head and a blocked window to the right. The cottage to the left is built of rubble stone, has a stone slate roof, and a stone ridge stack. It is two storeys tall with scattered fenestration, mostly consisting of casements. The site is historically significant as the birthplace of Ralph Vaughan Williams on 12th October 1872.
