Priest'S House

The Priest's House, also known as the former Chantry Priests House, is a Grade II* listed building located on West Street in Easton on the Hill. This structure dates back to the early 16th century and was restored between 1867 and 1868 by T.G. Jackson. It is built from squared coursed limestone and ironstone, topped with a Collyweston slate roof. The building has a rectangular, one-unit plan and stands two storeys tall.

The front elevation facing West Street features a two-window range on the first floor, with a three-light stone mullion window on the right and a single-light window on the left. Both windows have arch-head lights, hood moulds, and square label stops. A truncated ashlar stack is located at the right end. The left gable has a single-light window on the first floor and a two-light window on the ground floor, both with relieving arches above. The right gable contains a blocked rectangular opening at the first floor.

On the rear elevation, there is a four-light window with a King mullion at ground level, similar to the front windows and also featuring a relieving arch above. To the right, there is a doorway with a four-centred arch-head and chamfered jambs, which was restored in the mid-19th century. A shallow stair turret projects to the left, adorned with two small single-light windows with stone surrounds, one of which was renewed in the 19th century. The ironstone gable over the turret has 19th-century gable parapets and kneelers.

Inside, the building features roll and hollow moulded ceiling beams and chamfered joists, all reset at a higher level. There are remnants of two 16th-century fireplaces and a 19th/20th-century roof structure, along with a stone spiral stair. The Priest's House is a property of the National Trust.
