History

Mid C19 rectory. The main part of the present house is thought to have been built in the 1860s but may be a remodelling of the T-plan range annotated on the Tithe Map of the parish, 1840.

Exterior

Mid C19 rectory: a 2-storey, 2-window range with shorter service wing to rear (W) and storeyed NE porch. Built of rubble masonry; the principal elevation facing E is smooth rendered with ashlar scoring, the R (N) return (in alignment with the service wing) is rendered and the L return is slate hung. The main house has a hipped roof with tall rectangular brick stacks with capping. The service wing has a gabled roof with rectangular brick stacks, one ridge stack offset to R of 1st floor doorway and short gable stack at W end. The principal elevation overlooks the garden to the E, a 2-window range with large tripartite windows of small-paned hornless sashes. There are similarly detailed windows to the R (W) of the N return: The storeyed porch to the L with entry through the panelled door in the E wall, N wall with 8-pane fixed light illuminating the ground floor and 6-pane hornless sash above.
The service wing (to the R) is a 2-window range with small paned horned sash window; 1st floor 12-pane set directly under the eaves, smaller ground floor lights. The L (S) return has 2 ground floor 8-pane hornless sash windows to the L and a 6-pane 1st floor window to the R. The service wing is set back with the rear door to the rectory raised by 4 steps (in the NE corner of an enclosed slabbed yard) in the W wall; 1st floor tripartite window to the R with blocked doorway (with cambered brick head) below. The service wing has a ground floor doorway to the L (W) end, a 1st floor doorway reached by external stone steps to its R and a single ground floor 12-paned horned sash window to the R. Set at right angles to the L (W) end of the service wing is the remains of a privy block, now roofless, which has 2 doorways with stone lintels offset to N end.
