20, Church Street

This is a mid-18th century house, originally shown on Ordnance Survey maps as the Rectory. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone with an ashlar facade, and has a Collyweston slate roof. The house is arranged in a T-shape with two storeys and an attic. The front facade has three sash windows on each floor, featuring glazing bars and stone lintels with keyblocks. A late 18th century porch is located to the left of centre; it originally had a moulded cornice and plain entablature, but now contains a window. The roof has ashlar gable parapets, kneelers, and three gabled dormers with casement windows. The building has ashlar stacks with moulded cornices at the ridge and ends. A 19th century, single-unit, two-storey extension adjoins the right side. A short rear wing contains a 6-panel door, protected by a 19th century head with a leaded cross window above, and lintel. The door features an iron knocker in the shape of a serpent, a symbol relating to a 19th century surgeon who owned the property. The interior includes panelled window reveals and open fireplaces with bressumers. The house was used for a period as the Rectory.
