Rectory, now private house. Late C18 with mid C19 alterations including the addition of the third storey. Coursed limestone and gritstone, purple slate roof. Plinth and rusticated quoins. 3 storeys, 5 bays, 2:1:2. Central glazed double doors under a closed porch with Tuscan columns, deep entablature and cornice. Flush wood architraves, projecting sills and incised lintels to all the windows; those to the ground floor are 4-pane sashes; the first floor has sashes with glazing bars; the second floor has 9-pane unevenly-hung sashes. Shallow blocking course with moulded coping and a projecting band at eaves level. Hipped roof. Banded end stacks, of stone to left, of white brick to right. 2-bay single-storey range attached to right, not of special interest. Interior not inspected at resurvey but said to contain a fine original staircase. Rear wing, now a separate house, has keyed lintels to windows and C20 alterations. In 1794 the patronage of the living was sold by Colonel Thornton to the Rev James Geldart who became rector in 1795 and was succeeded by his son and grandson. The church (qv) was extensively rebuilt in 1849 and these two dates may cover the period of building at the Rectory.
