Presbytery for the Roman Catholic Cathedral Church of St Peter
(qv) 1857-59, and 1895-96. By Edward Paley and extended to the

dressings and slate roofs. Built in front of a small cloister
courtyard against the south side of the Cathedral.
The main range faces west and is of 2 storeys with a central

is connected to the Cathedral by a single-storey porch. The
windows have chamfered surrounds and mullions and the lights
have heads which are either trefoiled or have a depressed

transoms. To the left of the bay window are 2 bays with

2-storey window turret in the angle with the main range. Its
gable, facing west, has a single-storey canted bay window with
2 transoms. On the south side a 2-storey projecting gabled
wing contains the doorway, with a moulded pointed arch and
hoodmould.
