demolished except for its east front wall which is 2 storeys and 3 bays with
stone mullion windows and buttresses with set-offs.
Adjoining south, the main house was built in 1880 in early C16 style, coursed
stone with freestone dressings. Asymmetrical L-shaped on plan. Two storeys.
Parapets with moulded coping and string courses. East front has projecting
2 storeyed porch off centre with oriel with battlements and moulded 2 centred

The house was a rectory in the time of Rigus Fletcher, chaplain to Mary Queen
of Scots, rector from 1586-1590. The father of Charles Kingsley was rector
here in the early C19, the latter being five when he came here in 1824. His
younger brothers George and Henry were born here in 1827 and 1830.
