Description

Lantern House, formerly known as The Old Rectory, is a large L-shaped house built in 1816-1817 by the Reverend James Stanier, who served as Rector from 1816 to 1834. The building is constructed of ashlar with a tiled roof, and it features intact glazing bars. It has two storeys and five windows. In the northeast corner, there is an older 17th-century section with a gable above it, and a late 19th-century addition located to the south. At the southwest corner, there is a 19th-century ground floor extension that includes a three-light Gothic window and a parapet above. The building is now used as an institution.
