3/41 Nos.1,2,3 & 4 Old Vicarage - Cottages

- II

Former vicarage, now a row of 4 cottages. 2 storeys and attics. Early C15, with later modifications. Timber-framed, encased in mid C19 red brick; part clay pantiles, part double Romans. 2 internal chimney-stacks with plain red brick shafts. Some 3-light C19 casement windows with segmental arched heads and horizontal bars to lights; some C20 2-light casements; C19 dormers with single-pitch sloping roofs. Various doors and timber porches. Little framing exposed inside, except in No.2, which contains a fine crownpost truss and a complete smoke-blackened medieval roof relating to an open hall of 2 bays: cambered tie-beam, braces removed, tall octagonal crown-post with moulded cap and base, braced 4 ways at the head, with wide, heavy braces. The quality of this work, coupled with the siting of the building opposite the church, suggests that prior to its being used as a vicarage it may have been a parish guildhall.
