Parsonage Farmhouse

Parsonage Farmhouse is a Grade II* listed building, originally a vicarage, now functioning as a farmhouse. It dates from the 13th or 14th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features thick painted roughcast walls beneath a graduated Welsh slate roof with coped gables, and has a large square central roughcast chimney stack. It is two storeys high and consists of three bays. A 20th-century door is set within a roughcast stone porch. A medieval pointed arch, which now serves as a kitchen window, may have originally been a doorway. The farmhouse has Yorkshire sash windows framed in 19th-century painted stone surrounds. Two medieval corbel stones project at different levels on either side of the porch, and there is weathered carved medieval coping stop on the left gable. The return and rear walls feature 19th-century sash windows in painted stone surrounds. The right return wall has two buttresses and a blocked upper pointed-arched window beneath a pointed hood. The rear extension includes 20th-century garage doors and stepped gables, but it also has a buttress similar to those on the main building. Although the history of this building is not well documented, it is believed to have served as the vicarage for the medieval church and predates the existing late 14th-century fortified vicarages found elsewhere in the county. There are no notable internal features.
