Description

The Brewhouse, located about 10 metres south of The Old Vicarage, is a detached kitchen that was once a church house and is now used as a stable and store. It dates from the late Medieval period, with alterations made in the 17th century and early 19th century. The building is constructed of red sandstone random rubble, with the north front rendered, and features a pantiled roof and a rendered stack on the west gable end.

The structure lies in an east-west orientation and includes a stable with a kitchen to the right of a cross passage. It is two storeys high and has three bays, with some early 19th-century leaded iron casements. The centre right features a wooden door frame with a two-centred arch.

Although the interior has not been viewed, it is said to contain a small bay at the west end that includes a fireplace with a deeply chamfered lintel, separate stone and brick flues, and lead-lined vats for brewing. The interior also features stop-chamfered beams with enriched stops and evidence of three pairs of jointed cruck trusses, along with a blocked doorway on the first floor at the west end. The Brewhouse is believed to have served at various times as a detached kitchen for The Old Vicarage to the north and as a church house.
