Description
The Rectory, built in 1833 and later, features a combination of red and grey brick with an old tiled roof. It has moulded stone gable parapets and pinnacles, along with brick kneelers. The building is two storeys high and has a central gabled projection that includes a stone Tudor arched entrance. A stone plaque in the gable displays the Bedford crest and the date of construction. On the ground floor, there are two 3-light wood mullion and transom windows, while the first floor has three 2-light casement windows, all of which are topped with hoodmoulds. To the left, there is a slightly set back 20th-century wing that features a window matching the others.
