Full Description
THE RECTORY, faces S. across the churchyard. It was built after the fire, somewhat N. of the original vicarage site and has a five-bay, two-storied S. front of blue brick headers, with red brick quoins and dressings; the flat window beads have triple keystones. The original central doorway has been removed and a window substituted, the inserted brickwork being skilfully bonded so that little trace of the former opening remains. Wings were added to N. and W. of the original block in the 19th century. An 18th-century door frame reset in the S. wall of the W. wing may be from the original front entrance. It is flanked by pilasters which are divided into two equal panels by roundels; the lower panels are reeded, those above have pendant leaf swags; the pilasters support scrolled consoles and a segmental hood. <2-3>
