Description

The Old Vicarage, located in The Square, is a house documented in 1773, built for Sir John Aubrey. It is constructed from vitreous header brick with red brick quoins, window surrounds, and vertical strips. The surface was keyed for rendering in the 1940s. The building features a brick plinth, a rendered first-floor band course, brick modillion eaves, and a hipped old tile roof with brick chimneys at the rear. The structure is two storeys with an attic and consists of three bays. It has sash windows, each with three panes and flanking half-panes, while the ground floor windows have segmental heads and rendered sills. There are two small dormers with paired barred wooden casements. The central entrance is a six-panelled door with a radiating semi-circular fanlight and an architrave frame set in a rendered voussoir surround. A county fire insurance plaque is also present. At the rear, there is a taller early to mid-19th century wing that is rendered and whitewashed. The front of the property is enclosed by late 18th to early 19th century wrought iron railings on brick dwarf walls with moulded coping.
