‘(3) RECTORY (160 yds. S.E.), of two storeys with cellar, has walls mainly of stone, with the upper storey partly of timber framing, and slate-covered roof. It is of the late 16th century, partly rebuilt in the 19th century and enlarged towards the W.
The N. front has the lower storey of stone with a single-light window with moulded jambs and four-centred head and a small blocked window with chamfered stone dressings. The upper storey is of timber framing, jettied and tile-hung, with original joists to the W. of the entrance. The porch is largely modern but the inner doorway has an original timber frame with segmental head. The E. end has an original window with four-centred head. The back is rendered with stucco and has a small projection which was probably a garderobe. Inside, some of the rooms have deeply-chamfered, intersecting ceiling beams. The staircase is of c. 1700 with square newels and turned balusters. In the newer part of the house is reset the head of a 15th-century window of three lights with vertical tracery, said to have come from the church.’
