Former Rectory

This is a large, gabled rectory built in the Tudor-Gothic style. It likely dates to the 19th century and is constructed from uncoursed, dressed limestone blocks with tooled ashlar dressings, set on a chamfered plinth. The original roof is of steeply pitched copper-green Westmoreland slates with oversailing, feathered eaves. The gables are kneelered with overlapping coping stones, and the chimneys have moulded cornices and capping.

The main block comprises three bays and two storeys plus an attic. A central pointed-arched, chamfered opening leads to a shallow porch projection, which is a flush ground-floor continuation of the projecting gabled bay to the left. The inner arch of the porch is deeply recessed with a chamfer and broach stops, and has a boarded door with simple ironwork. Above the entrance is a rectangular light with chamfered jambs and modern glazing. The left-hand bay features a wooden cross window on the ground floor with leaded upper lights and four-pane lower sections, chamfered jambs, and a splayed projecting sill. A three-light stone mullioned window is present on the first floor, also with modern glazing and a sill matching the ground floor. The gable apex has a rectangular, splayed vent. The right-hand bay has a ground-floor cross window similar to the left bay, and a two-light mullioned window on the first floor with a surmounting gable. A two-light casement window is set within a large central gabled dormer in the attic, featuring simple decorative bargeboards and deep eaves and verges. All principal windows have expressed segmental or shallow-pointed relieving arches.

A single-storey canted bay window is advanced to the northeast side, with cross windows as before, and a two-light window to the first floor with a gable-light above. Further to the right, a large three-light wooden mullioned and transomed window is situated above a three-light stone mullioned window. A large plain-glazed stair window is located at the centre of the rear elevation, flanked by gabled and projecting bays; that to the right has a modern two-storey extension.

A lower, L-shaped service range adjoins the main block to the left, set back slightly. This range is constructed using the same materials and has a hipped roof to the southwest side. It features a gable to the front with a single-storey lean-to projection below a squat four-light mullioned window; there’s a pointed-arched entrance with a boarded door to its left return, and a modern glazed upper door with a steel fire escape access.

The interior is plain, with four- and six-panel doors and a simple pitch-pine Victorian staircase.
