Description
This building is an outbuilding and connecting wall located about 10 metres east of the Old Rectory. It dates from the early 19th century and was originally used as parish rooms. The structure is made of red sandstone random rubble and features a slate roof with an octagonal stone stack rising from the eaves on the left side.
The building is two storeys high and has three bays. It includes round-headed openings, with one round-headed sash window that has glazing bars on the first floor, and round-headed casements on the ground floor flanking a central doorway. The doorway has a 20th-century door and is accessed by steps.
On the right side, there is an inserted 18th-century fielded six-panel door. This outbuilding is linked to the Old Rectory by a 3-metre section of red sandstone random rubble masonry wall, which features a round-headed doorway. The outbuilding contributes to an attractive approach to the Church of St James and forms part of the southeast boundary wall of the Old Rectory. It is primarily listed for its group value.
