Rectory [NAT]. <1>
The Old Rectory (formerly listed as The Rectory). House of 16th to 17th century origin but largely altered in the 18th century when it was refaced in red brick. Grade II. <2>
The Rectory, west of the church. It was originally timber-framed and covered with plaster, but the walls are now faced with modern brick and the roofs are tiled. The house was built in late 16th or early in 17th century on a modified H-shaped plan, with the cross-wings at the north and south ends. An extension towards the south-east was probably added in the 18th century. The main staircase between the wings on the east side is modern. <3>
