The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a former vicarage, now a residential home, dating from 1869. It was designed by Alfred Waterhouse for the incumbent, Edward Balston. The building is constructed of squared limestone in diminishing courses with ashlar sandstone dressings, and has a red tile roof with yellow brick chimney shafts. It is built in the Gothic Revival style, with a U-shaped plan comprising a double-depth central block and cross wings.

The exterior is two storeys high with a cellar and attic, and features a 1:3:1-bay entrance front. It has a chamfered plinth and square-headed windows with deeply-chamfered sills and chamfered, quoined surrounds. The windows contain plain sashes, and some original coloured leaded lights remain. The gabled one-storey porch to the right has a boarded door with decorative ironwork within a moulded pointed arch with a hoodmould and crested ridge tiles. Above the porch is a stepped three-light stair window with a transom and pointed-arched lights linked by a hoodmould. To the left of the stair window are single sashes, then paired sashes, beneath a gabled dormer with a quatrefoil. The right cross wing features paired sashes beneath a string course, a single sash to the first floor, and a plate-traceried roundel to the gable. The left cross wing has a single-storey projection with three plain sashes and a gable slit. The main gable behind has narrow sashes flanking a central projecting stack with a quoined offset plinth. Scrolled iron gutter brackets are present at the swept eaves, and the tall ridge stacks have ashlar offsets and stepped brick caps with cogging. A corbelled stack with a cylindrical shaft is visible at the rear, along with a 20th century conservatory. One return side features three bays, with the two right-hand bays projecting to display rectangular and canted bay windows with cornices and hipped roofs. Transomed ground-floor windows are present, along with a continuous dripmould and first-floor sill band.

Inside, the stair hall contains a grey marble fireplace that has been repositioned from a bedroom. A large open-well staircase is constructed of pitch-pine and features turned newels and balusters with diagonal struts beneath the handrail, along with a monogram 'EDB', a galleried landing, and an infilled arcade. The dining room has a grey marble fireplace with a mantle on brackets. The attic contains two slate cisterns that collect rainwater and feed a well in the former kitchen, now concealed.
