Description
The Rectory was built by the Reverend Daniel Gittins around 1740. It originally had two storeys and was faced with flints, featuring red brick dressings, quoins, and a stringcourse. In the 19th century, an additional storey was added in brown brick. The building has three windows and a tiled roof, with the glazing bars remaining intact.
