Old Vestry

The Old Vestry is a public hall that was formerly a school, located in the north-west corner of the churchyard in Lustleigh. It was built in 1825 and constructed from granite rubble with a hipped tiled roof. The building features a red brick chimney on the south gable wall and is two storeys high with three windows across the front. The ground storey openings have segmental arches, and the central doorway has a plank door topped with a pantiled hood supported by wooden brackets. To the left of the doorway, there is a large fixed iron lantern. The windows are wooden casements without glazing bars. Beneath the eaves, there is a stone tablet inscribed with "1825 Built by subscription and endowed with Lowton Meadow in Moreton, for supporting a school for ever, by the Rev. William Davy, curate of this parish upwards of forty years." The west front has two old wooden casement windows with leaded panes, and the ground-storey window has fittings for outside shutters. The interior was not fully inspected, but the left-hand ground storey room features a chamfered upper-floor beam.
