Description

NRHE data transfer: Rectory [NAT]. <1> The Rectory, 1/4 mile south of the church, is of two storeys, the original part being timber-framed and covered with rough-cast; the roofs are tiled. The north wing of the present T-shaped plan was built probably in the 17th century, but the cross-wing at the south end is modern. There is a small gable at the north end of the west elevation, and on the east side of the north wing the roof has two hipped ends. Both the chimney-stacks of the north wing are original and plain. Inside the building, the rooms on the ground-floor of the north wing have stop-chamfered ceiling-beams. At the foot of the stairs is an original three-centred arch with hollow-chamfered jambs and head, partly restored. Condition - good. <2> 14th century rear wing with later additions and alterations. Grade II*. <3> See also: <4>
