Description


WHITTINGTON CHURCH STREET (south side) SD 67 NW 2/221 Old Rectory 4-10-1967 II

House, formerly rectory, 1728. Rendered with sandstone dressings and stone slate roof. A symmetrical composition of 3 storeys and 5 bays, with chamfered quoins. Boxed sash windows have glazing bars and plain reveals. The door has a surround of chamfered rustication, with round head and moulded imposts. Above is a plaque carved with a shield of arms and inscribed: 'George Hornby Clerk A.M. Rector of Whittington erected this House 1728.' The north wall of the rear wing, which appears to be of the same build, has a door of 15 raised and fielded panels under an iron trellis porch. Inside, there is a dog-leg stair with closed string, moulded handrail, and turned balusters.
