The Old Parsonage

The Old Parsonage is a building that dates back to the 15th century and is believed to have originally served as a monastic manor courthouse, with a separate house for the rector of Street, which was once part of that parish. It has since been converted into a single dwelling. The structure features rubble with roughcast and freestone dressings, along with coped verges and 20th-century brick stacks.

The building consists of two staggered, two-storey rectangular ranges that are only joined at the corners, each containing a former hall on the first floor. The architectural style is Perpendicular. On the eastern side, there are two original three-light stone-mullioned windows, each light having a cusped head; one window includes a transom and a stopped label, while most other windows appear to have been re-set. The north-west range boasts a fine semi-octagonal bay window on the north gable, which is two storeys high and has a tripartite tile roof, with its windows also re-set.

There are two door openings on the west side. The doorway to the north range features a two-centred moulded stone surround, next to an identical second doorway that is now blocked, with a 20th-century porch. The doorway to the south-west range is accessed via a shallow porch and has a door opening in a moulded stone surround with a four-centred head, along with a moulded wooden inner doorframe that also has a four-centred head and carved spandrels; both of these doorways appear to be imported features.

Many interior details stem from a restoration in the 1940s, including doors, doorways, and likely all the fireplaces. The moulded ceiling in the south of the south range and the moulded coffered ceiling in the north range (partially obscured) are undoubtedly original. The roof of the south range is supported by arch-braced collar trusses, while the north range features collar and tie-beam trusses.
