The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a house, likely originally a vicarage or priest's house, dating to the early to mid-16th century, with alterations from the 17th century and additions from the 20th century. The external walls are rendered rubble, with a slate roof gabled at the left end and hipped to the right. There are two rendered stacks, one at the left end and one axial. The building originally followed a three-room-and-through-passage plan, with the lower end positioned to the right. A 17th-century remodelling, possibly including the addition of a newel staircase projecting at the rear of the hall, is evidenced by a 1658 date stone. 20th-century lean-to additions have been made at the rear and front of the higher end.

The front façade is asymmetrical, featuring a three-window arrangement dominated by 20th-century casement windows, with gabled dormers to the first floor. A late 16th or early 17th century three-light granite mullion window with a hollow chamfer is situated to the left of the centre. To the right of centre is a four-centred granite arched doorway, also hollow-chamfered and likely original, with a two-light granite mullion window above it. A date stone, inscribed with "1658", sits to the left of the doorway. A 20th-century lean-to addition sits in front of the left end, and a lean-to garage is built against the right end wall, formerly a stable. At the rear, to the right of centre, is a large gabled stair projection containing a granite-framed light. A tiny circular spy-hole in the right-hand wall provides a view of the adjacent churchyard. Outshuts are positioned to either side of the stair projection, and a single-storey 20th-century wing extends from the left-hand end.

Inside, the hall features a granite framed fireplace with a chamfered, straight lintel and jambs. A single-light granite framed window with a segmental arched head and recessed spandrels, likely the only original surviving window, is visible within the rear wall of the hall (formerly an external wall, now hidden by an outshut). The rear of the hall has a four-centred granite doorway leading to the stone newel stairs. Adjacent to this doorway is an unusual stone-lined recess with a raised floor and arched opening, presumably used for food storage. At the head of the stairs are two adjoining granite doorways sharing a jamb; one has a segmental head, the other a four-centred head. Another four-centred granite doorway leads from the hall to the inner room. Despite later additions, the house retains several interesting features and forms a visually cohesive group with the Church and village cross in the village centre.
