Keyford Elms

Keyford Elms is a house that likely dates from the mid-18th century, as a building on this site appears on the 1774 Jos. Singer map. It underwent significant remodelling in the 1840s and 1880s. The structure has two storeys with a later attic, built of coursed rubble and featuring chamfered quoins. The roof is covered with plain tiles and includes three full and two half 20th-century hipped dormers, along with coped verges. The windows have raised surrounds with inner edge-roll and outer ogee moulding, with two ranges of glazing bar sash windows on the left, one on the right at a lower level, and a smaller window above an off-centre porch. The box-porch, added in 1884, has an attic parapet and a shell niche for a statue of Christ, featuring a three-centred arch entrance with panelled spandrels, including the monogram RBS to the left and the date to the right. To the right, there is a two-storey matching wing from 1884.

Inside, the hall room on the ground floor has an axial beam with early 18th-century type stops on the chamfer and a slightly arched fireplace. The left-hand room on the ground floor has cross-beams that may be modern. This building was formerly the Vicarage for Christ Church, and it is said that John Wesley stayed here.
