Description

Prebendal House is a building with roughcast rendering on stone rubble walls and a Welsh slate roof. The original structure, located on the east side facing the Cathedral, is a single storey featuring a central six-panelled door with an architrave and a triangular hood supported by brackets. On either side of the door are sash windows with six over six panes. The rear elevation, facing the lane, is two storeys high and includes an old external chimney breast, with modern windows on either side of the chimney. The roof is hipped.

The north gable end has three small paned casements, likely dating from 1926, similar to the windows on the rear. Attached to this is a wing built at right angles in 1926, which features a doorway from around 1700 with a Tuscan surround, flanked by small windows. There is also an archway leading to a lower level on the right, followed by the rubble walling of the 1950s Processional Way. The end elevation facing the lane has three small paned windows below and three cross-framed casements above.

Additionally, there is a two-storey wing made of stone rubble with hardwood windows that was added in the 1980s at the east end of this range. This wing has nearly continuous lights to the Processional Way on this side and connects to St. David's Chapel, with further details available in the Cathedral description.

During a resurvey, only part of the east wing, built in 1926 and partially rebuilt in the 1950s by George Pace as part of the post-World War II restoration of the Cathedral, was visible. The Processional Way includes fitted cupboards and an 18th-century stone urn, which is the only remaining relic of the John Wood "temple" that once stood within the ruined Cathedral in the 18th and early 19th centuries.
