The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a former vicarage, now a detached house, dating from the mid-to-late 18th century, with an enlargement in the early 19th century. It is constructed of coursed rubble and dressed limestone, with ashlar chimneys and a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high with an attic. The earliest part of the house is located on the right-hand side and is constructed of coursed rubble, featuring two-light chamfered mullioned casement windows – two to the ground floor and three to the upper floor, all with combining hoodmoulds. A larger addition to the left is built of dressed limestone and features a mixed arrangement of windows, including two-light stone-mullioned casements and 16-pane sash windows. A gabled porch with a six-panel door sits to the right of the doorway. There are three gabled roof dormers with timber casements in the eaves, and three ridge chimneys, one featuring a moulded cap. The interior of the house has not been inspected. The building was formerly the home of Thomas Dudley Fosbrooke, the county historian and vicar of the parish from 1794 to 1811.
