Vicarage. 1696 and 1781 on datestones, re-modelled and extended c.1830 probably by Thomas Fulljames. Marlstone ashlar and squared rubble with some limestone dressings; Welsh-slate roofs with limestone-ashlar stacks. T-plan, infilled. 2 storeys plus attic and 3 storeys. 4-window ashlar front, with chamfered plinth and limestone storey band, has doorway to left of centre with a 6-panel door in a panelled ashlar porch of c.1800. Windows have 12-pane sashes below flat arches with projecting marlstone keyblocks, but have applied limestone architraves with angle rolls and outer sections to the keyblocks; the head of the rectangular overlight above the porch is similarly treated. The band below the eaves is also applied. This decoration is probably of c.1830. The left gable wall has 2 blind windows at first floor plus a datestone in the gable inscribed "GS/1781" within an oakleaf cartouche. Gables have parapets and stacks. Right face of 3-storey rubble rear wing, returning to right of centre has a central stair projection with, to left, 2-light casements, and to right 3-light transomed casements, all with flat arches, projecting keyblocks and leaded glazing. Datestone is inscribed "F/W.A/1696". Roof has central ridge stack. Wing is extended by a single-storey gabled service range. 2-window ashlar range of c.1830, returning to left, has stone architraves and keyblocks plus a first-floor storey band; sashes are full-height at ground floor. Interior: rear range has stop chamfered beams and an open fireplace; interior of former stair projection is curved. Front range has butt purlin roofs. Garden wall, approx. 3m. high, runs to right from end of rear wing and returns along the right side of the garden for approx. 30m. The inner face is of coursed squared marlstone ashlar and the outer of limestone rubble with a 2-course coping weathered outwards. It may be contemporary with the 1696 building. Thomas Fulljames was consulted about the vicarage in 1828. (V.C.H.: Oxfordshire, Vol.XI, p.227; Buildings of England: Oxfordshire, p.626).
