The Old Rectory (EHER 28403)

The rectory was probably built in the 15th century, but the original plan has since been obscured by alterations. It is now of a modified half H-shaped plan, with the wings extending towards the west. The north-west wing was built in the 17th century, but has modern additions on the north side. It is of two storeys, with the walls of plastered timber-framing, and has a tiled roof.
