Vicarage

The Vicarage, located at No 7 Belvoir Terrace, is part of a row of houses built between 1832 and 1856-7, designed by architects R H and Samuel Sharp from York. This section of the Crescent was completed by 1840. The buildings feature symmetrical ashlar facades and are four storeys high, except for the Vicarage, which has three storeys. The angle blocks consist of six bays with a slight projection, and the ground floor is characterized by horizontal rustication. A continuous stone balcony supported by large brackets and adorned with rich cast iron rails featuring a honeysuckle pattern is present at the first-floor level. The upper part of the buildings is divided by pilasters that support an entablature, and they have low hipped slate roofs. The intermediate houses each have three bays, with glazing bar sashes and French windows on the first floor. The Vicarage has an additional four bays in brick on its northwest side. The return fronts of the end blocks consist of five bays, designed in the same style. The doorways feature stone architraves, panelled doors, and rectangular fanlights. This is a significant example of terrace architecture in Scarborough, with a central garden area in front of the houses. Nos 1 to 7 Belvoir Terrace and Nos 1 to 15 The Crescent form an important group.
