The Rectory

The Rectory is a house, said to be built in 1821. It is constructed of coursed rubble and features a hipped green slate roof. The building has a shallow double pile plan, with the original doorway now removed from the main front. This front is two storeys high and has five bays. It includes a plinth, a first-floor sill band, and an eaves cornice, with a frieze only above the inner bays. The outer windows are set in a raised section of the walls on either side, with ground floor windows in blank arches. The central doorway, along with the second and fourth windows on the first floor, are blind; the remaining openings have sashes with all glazing bars. After a fire in 1956, the door was repositioned into a new doorcase in the right-hand bay of the northern return wall. The house has two chimneys. Inside, there is an open string stair at the rear, but the interior is mostly plain or altered.
