Description

The Old Vicarage is a Grade II* listed building that features remains of local rubble masonry and traces of slate roofing. The northern gable wall is 0.9 meters thick and includes an oval-shaped chimney flue embedded within the wall. There is an original entrance to the two-unit cottage on the southern side of the western wall, which is now blocked, and it has a heavy curved lintel. A lateral chimney on the west side serves a small corner fireplace. At the southern end, a third room has been added, which includes a large chimney with a square shaft, dripstone, and capping.

The building incorporates elements from two 12th-century arcades, aligned north-south and standing about 5 meters apart. The western arcade features one complete arch and a small portion of another, both resting on the outside face of a thick square abacus supported by a slender column with a circular base and cap. The eastern arcade has two complete arches that meet on a very worn corbel. In 1852, these arcades were described as "on one side against the wall, on the other standing free," but both are now blocked with walling. The carved faces on the abacus of the western arcade are distinct from those in the northern and southern arcades of the church, appearing to be an afterthought to the squaring of the abacus. These faces are inset within curved margins and are shallowly detailed. There are faces on the two free corners, along with one bearded face in a later style on the engaged northwest corner of the abacus, which is distorted due to its position and is evidently later than the formation of the arcade blocking walls. Above the abacus, there is a socket hole.

The chimney in the third room contains a large open fireplace that measures about 1.2 meters wide and deep, featuring a built-in cloam bread-oven marked 'W H Crocker' from Bideford, Devon.
