South Side (Old Rectory) The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory, built in 1850 by E.B. Lamb, is a former rectory now divided into two dwellings. It is designed in the Tudor style, constructed of red brick with blue headers, and features stone dressings and quoins. The building has an old tiled roof with tall brick chimneys that have cogged string courses and corbelled heads. The steep gables are adorned with cogged brick verges and brick kneelers supported by deep stone corbels.

The east front has a small gabled dormer at the center and consists of two storeys and an attic. A plinth and a cogged brick string course run along the first floor. The stone mullioned windows, which are transomed on the ground and first floors, have diamond leaded glazing, while the ground floor windows of the south wing feature larger panes. The east front displays flanking gabled projections and a gabled porch to the left of the center. This porch has a cogged brick verge and a tile-hung apex, with a five-centred stone arch and a similar inner arch that leads to a half-glazed oak door.

To the left of the ground floor is an early 20th-century bay window, alongside a stair window and a two-light window on the first floor. The center bay has two-light windows on each floor to the right of the porch. The right wing features a stone tablet on the ground floor with a Latin inscription that includes the date 1850 and the name "Edwardus Buckton Lamb Architectus." The first floor has a three-light window and a two-light attic window.

The south front showcases a central gable with a two-light attic window, a two-light window on the first floor, and a three-light window to the left of the ground floor bay window, which is on the right and has a hipped roof. There is also a four-light window and a narrow door with a shouldered lintel and a window above it on the west return. The west front displays the gable of the south wing on the left, which includes a two-light attic window and three-light windows on both the first and ground floors. A two-light stair window on the right breaks the string course. Modern French doors are present on the ground floor, with four two-light windows to the right, a four-light window at the center of the first floor, and two two-light windows to the right, along with a central gable featuring a three-light attic window that is stepped up.

At the north end, there is a lower service wing that has been altered. Inside, the ground floor rooms in the south wing retain original panelled doors and hinges, along with two white marble chimneypieces featuring Tudor arches.
