The Vicarage

The Vicarage is a semi-detached house dating to the late 16th century, with significant remodelling in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of Ham stone ashlar and near-ashlar, with a plain clay tiled roof laid over stone slate base courses. It has high stepped coped gables suggesting a former thatched roof and brick end chimney stacks. The house is two storeys high and five bays wide. It features a plinth and a continuous string course between the floors. The windows are mullioned, with hollow-chamfered wave mould recesses. Most windows are rectangular-leaded with iron-framed opening lights, except for the upper bay, which has a three-light window. There is evidence of a blocked former window in the lower bay and a single light inserted to the left of the first bay. A projecting, single-storey, flat-roofed porch, with open balustrading and ball finials, is situated in the centre bay. It has a shoulder-arched doorway with a boarded door and small windows with triangular-ornamented heads on the sides. Attached to the east gable is a two-bay extension set slightly lower, featuring hollow-chamfered mullioned windows of two and four lights above, and a three-light leaded casement with a timber lintol to the lower bay. There is a two-light mullioned window without a label in the second bay of the extension, and indications of a blocked doorway. A small leaded casement window is present in the east gable. The reported interior includes a nine-bay beamed ceiling, fragments of a second ceiling, and a collar-truss roof frame dating from the late 18th/early 19th century.
