II

Former vicarage, now detached house. 1832 by Willam Franklin for Thomas Keble. Ashlar limestone; ashlar chimneys; stone slate roof. Gothic style. Two-storey; square plan with central stair hall. West side: symmetrical, outer parts forming corner pavilions with hipped roofs. Single-window fenestration to projecting outer parts of elevation, mullioned casements with Tudor-headed lights and hoodmoulds, 3-light to ground floor, 2- light above. Central Tudor-arched moulded doorway with double doors; 2-light above, both flanked by small Tudor-arched single- light casements with hoodmoulds. South side: similar to west side but with single-storey rectangular bay window to left projecting part of elevation with coped top; Tudor-arched casements to match. Two 2-light casements to central recessed part of elevation. Two ridge-mounted chimney clusters, left with 2, right with 3 diagonal set shafts having moulded caps. East side: secondary asymmetrical elevation, right part projecting forward. Doorway to left with flat stone porch hood on shaped brackets; 6- panel door. Tall 2-light casement above. Attached length of spear-topped iron railings have urn finials to principal posts; matching iron gate. Interior not inspected. A large and imposing essay in the early Gothic revival, the chimneys adding particularly well to the townscape around the churchyard.
