Description


SJ 97 84 DISLEY C.P. RED LANE (South Side)

7/43 No.l (The Vicarage)

II

Parsonage: Core later C17, altered and added to 1861 perhaps by
A. Darbyshire for William Legh. Washed and pebble-dashed rubble with
stone dressings. Kerridge stone-slate roof with stone copings and
kneelers and a stone ridge. 2 plastered brick stacks. Later C17
plan, 3-unit lobby entry house, adapted in 1861 into double-pile house
with 2 parallel ridges. 2-storey, 4-bay front, in Gothick style. To
right, canted bay windows on both storeys with horned sashes and no
glazing bars. Left end and third bay, 6-pane sashes in chamfered
stone surrounds with hood moulds on ground floor. In second bay,
there is a projecting, coped, gabled, porch with a lancet, with
entrance to left in chamfered stone surround with 4-panelled door
behind, under plain, broad, pointed arch and Gothick fanlight.
Interior: 3, C15 cambered tie beams carved on both sides, are visible
in the first floor ceiling. Lower halves are heavily moulded and
there are 3 flank shields above, central ones flanked by trefoil
moulding. 2 moulded beams survive on ground floor, in hall an ovolo
moulded, in kitchen chamfered with flat and tongue stop. Staircase of
C.1860 has trefoil pierced iron balusters with hexagonal newels with
moulded panels on each face. Former box pews with quatrefoil
mouldings; now landing cupboards:

Mrs Marshall (S. Marshall, "Disley Vicarage and Sir Piers Legh V",
Trans. Lancs. and Ches. Ant. Soc. 1982, 133-140) argues that core
fabric belongs to early C16 chantryhouse. However, the carved beams
have been shortened and they support a later roof truss. Nevertheless
they must have been re-used from a locally important building.
