Description
The Old Vicarage is a former vicarage, now a house, built around 1807 for William Hall. It features coursed rubble construction and an artificial stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and five bays, with a plinth and quoins. The central entrance consists of a six-panel door beneath a fanlight with decorative glazing bars, set within an ashlar doorcase. This is framed by a Tuscan portico with two columns in front and two pilasters behind, supporting a cornice with a blocking course. The windows are sash style with glazing bars, stone lintels, and raised sills, and there is ashlar coping along the top. Each end of the roof has a broad ridge stack.
At the rear, the design mirrors the front, but features a central part-glazed six-panel door in an architrave with an ashlar surround, frieze, and pediment. Inside, there is a cantilevered stone open well staircase with moulded nosing and a wreathed handrail. This building served as the church's first vicarage and is said to have been constructed by Hall, who later took the name Wharton, in 1807 to please his future father-in-law, Charlotte Dundas of the nearby Aske estate. Extensive servants' quarters at the west end were mostly demolished in 1967.
