Description

The church room adjacent to the north side of the tower at the Church of St Mary the Virgin is a building established in the 15th century and substantially rebuilt in the late 19th century. It is constructed of random rubble with a pantile roof, featuring coped verges and ridge stacks. The structure is single storey with two bays, and it has tall two-light pointed-headed stone-mullioned windows that include Y-tracery. A central door opening is framed by a pointed-headed dressed stone surround, with a plank door and strap hinges. The upper section of the wall to the extreme right projects on a corbel. Inside, there is a fireplace with a massive four-centre head stone surround. This building may have once served as the dwelling for a chantry priest.
