Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a large detached house, originally built as a vicarage in 1846 by Thomas Henry Wyatt and David Brandon. It is constructed of coursed and squared rubble limestone with ashlar dressings, and has a stone slate roof. The house is double-pile and of two storeys, designed in the Gothic Revival style.

The north front has a blank parapet gable to the right of the porch, featuring an ashlar ridge chimney stack with chamfered sides to the shaft and a moulded cap. The projecting, buttressed porch has a carved cross above a saddle back and an inscription in paint above a moulded four-centred archway. The inscription reads 'ps 127' (psalm 127), with further lettering around the archway reading 'pax intrantibus' and 'salus exertuntibus', all in Gothic script. Stained glass is incorporated into the pointed lancet windows on the sides of the porch. The left side of the front is punctuated by a large six-light mullioned and transomed staircase window with a hoodmould, a tall two-light mullioned casement with a hood, and two small two-light mullioned casements to the upper floor. To the left of the porch is a lower service wing with a cross-window in a parapet-gabled half-dormer, and other scattered windows. The west end has two-window fenestration; a six-light mullioned and transomed window with a hoodmould in a parapet gable, with a two-light window above, and a carved shield in the gable. There is also a two-light window in a parapet-gabled half-dormer to the left.

The south elevation has a parapet gable to the left with a hipped-roofed, two-storey mullioned and transomed bay window. A buttress to the right terminates the parapet, and an artificial stone rebuilt ridge chimney stack is located behind. The remainder of the elevation has single-window fenestration, incorporating a mullioned and transomed window with a two-light in a parapet-gabled half-dormer. The service wing beyond also has a single two-light window to each floor.

The east end has a double-gabled parapet with a chimney stack rising from the valley.

Inside, there are many original carved stone fireplaces, particularly in the principal room, which has a richly carved pointed arch. This room also features very fine, realistic carved stone foliage on the capitals of the bay window responds, and carved detail on the face. The house is an unaltered and early example of the High Victorian Gothic revival.
