II
Former vicarage. Dated 1889 W M B. Red brick including fine rubbed brick arches and considerable decorative brickwork to strings and gables, plain tile roof, two gables to street, stepped forward slightly from wings, gabled ends, two richly modelled large brick stacks. Two storeys, 1:2:1 windowed, two- or three-light casements with small leaded panes under rubbed arches, tile cills, centrally two C20 glazed doors, but original doors are in gables left and right ends with four-panel doors in arched openings, and glazed gabled porches.

A splendidly rich but controlled study in brickwork, the main walling in stretcher bond which suggests the possibility of very early cavity walling. Walter Bentley Marling said to have been local curate; commemorative date panel in florid terra-cotta in gables.
