The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a house dating from the 15th century and late 17th century, constructed from ashlar and coursed squared stone with a graduated stone slate roof. It has two storeys and seven bays, with a one-storey, two-bay block at a right angle to the main house, connected by a wall. The main house features a full-height gabled porch with raised quoins. The entrance includes a half-glazed door with a rusticated surround and voussoirs, topped by a semicircular dripmould. Above the door is a four-light double-chamfered mullioned window with a central major mullion and a carved tablet above, which is further enhanced by a triangular-headed hoodmould.

Bay 1 has two four-pane sashes in moulded surrounds, while bay 2 features an adjoining pair of four-pane sashes with a central mullion. To the right, there is a dripmould over a blocked doorway. Bay 3 contains a two-light chamfered mullion and transom window, and bay 5 has a similar four-light window with a central major mullion. Bays 6 and 7 are fitted with full-height eight-pane sashes in moulded surrounds, each with central mullions. On the first floor, all bays have four-light double-chamfered mullion windows, except for the one to the left of the porch, which has two lights. The building is adorned with shaped kneelers and stone coping, and features gable crosses on the porch and the right-hand gable. It has ridge stacks and a large external gable stack on the left-hand side.

At the rear, there is a 15th-century six-light window with a round head and cusped lights. The block to the right of the house has quoins and a board door with a four-centred arch lintel, along with two large 36-pane sashes in plain stone surrounds. The right return displays two offset buttresses, while the left return features a 15th-century mullioned window. Historically, the building was originally the Priory infirmary and later became Boyle School, as noted on the plaque above the first-floor window of the porch.
