Description
Elegy House, formerly known as St Giles' Vicarage, is a Grade II listed building constructed between 1802 and 1804 by architect James Wyatt. This 'Gothick' style vicarage features a cement-rendered exterior and a battlemented parapet. The building stands three storeys tall.
On the second floor, there are three two-light casements with dripmoulds and glazing bars. The first floor also has three two-light casements, which include wooden mullions and transoms, leaded panes, and dripmoulds. The ground floor is distinguished by a central four-panel door topped with a 'Gothick' fanlight, set within a four-centred arch that has a dripmould. Flanking the door are two two-light casements, also with four-centred arches, wooden mullions and transoms, leaded panes, and dripmoulds.
