The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is an early 18th-century building with later 18th-century additions. It features a pebbledash exterior, likely over stone, and has fairly low-pitched hipped roofs covered in graduated Welsh slates, with Lakeland slates at the front. The structure consists of two parallel central ranges flanked by transverse wings, which have been later extended into bows on the south front. It has end and off-centre chimneys and stands two storeys tall. The building has a three-window centre and one-window wing projections, all featuring 18th-century sash windows with glazing bars, while the wings have tripartite windows on the entrance front. The garden front displays early 19th-century sash windows in the bows, and there is one central dormer. An added Roman Doric porch enhances the entrance. Inside, the property includes a staircase with a closed string, some 18th-century cornices, and much early 19th-century woodwork. One first-floor room has a gallery at one end and a raised dais at the other, which is said to have been adapted for use as an ecclesiastical court.
