and pierced barge boards. Brick stacks on front and rear gable ends.
Rectangular double depth plan with side entrance leading to the entrance hall which

floors, all with flat dressed stone arches and slate cills. In each of the gables a
cross-shaped slit window lighting the attics.
Symmetrical south garden front; slate hung with two double glazed doors on ground
floor and two 12-pane horned sashes with crown glass on first floor. Rear elevation

Emma Gifford, later Emma Hardy moved to St Juliot Rectory in 1868 to join her sister
Helen Catherine, wife of Rev. Caddell Holder. The opening chapters of Thomas Hardy's
navel, Pair of Blue Eyes recalls the author's visit to the rectory when he first met
Emma.
