Lion House

Lion House is a former rectory, now divided into two houses, with this being the north half. It dates from around 1500 and has undergone two reshaping phases in the 19th century. The building is constructed from local lias stone that is cut and squared, with Ham stone dressings and some parts rendered. It features a Welsh slate roof between stepped coped gables and has stone chimney stacks. The house has an 'L' plan and is two storeys tall with an attic.

The east elevation has three bays, with the third bay being a gabled projection. There is a 20th-century flat-roofed infill to the ground floor of the first two bays. The upper part of bay one has a long transomed three-light window, which serves the stairs of the adjoining premises, while bay two contains a small two-light trefoil cusped window. Bay three features a lower 17th-century mullioned window without a label, and above it is a ten-pane oriel window, possibly from the Regency period.

On the north-west corner, there is a stair turret with garderobes, and on the north elevation, there is a four-light (originally six-light) mullioned and transomed window with 15th-century tracery under a relieving arch. Above this is a two-light mullioned and transomed window with ogee heads set under a four-centre arch, located in a hollowed recess.

The interior has not been seen, but the Victoria County History mentions a parlour and principal chamber at the north end, a stone arch leading into the north-east projection, and an upper room with timber-framed walls. This building represents half of the rectory that was first mentioned in 1554 as being "in decay" and is attached on the south side to the Old Rectory.
