Historic Building Recording Historic Building recording undertaken before conversion in 2019 identified that the earliest surviving part of the building is to the south west rear area and this is considered to date from the 15th century. The central chimney stack to this part of the building is a 19th addition. Notwithstanding its large size the structure was single brick thick and built to serve the 19th century range to the central ground floor room. The eastern range of two rooms is considered to date from the 16th century with the two hearths exposed to the central stack being constructed of brick rather than with a bresummer, both having a large opening with a Tudor four-centre flat arch which was probably plastered to resemble stone. <3> NRHE data import: Vicarage, now the Old Vicarage. <4> The Vicarage was originally of L-shaped plan, with the wings extending towards the east and south.
