GV II

Vicarage, now private dwelling. Mid to later C19; slightly altered and recently extended. Red brick in English bond with blue brick patterning sandstone dressings and green slate roof with fishscale bands. L-plan formed by a square double-pile main range with a service wing to the rear; and now linked (by C20 additions) to a contemporary coach-house. Gothic (in the style of Street or Webb). Two storeys with an east entrance front of approximately 3 bays, vigorously asymmetrical: in the centre is a single-storey porch which has a shouldered stone doorway with Tudor-arched 3-light overlight, bands of checker-work at impost level, and a steeply-pitched half-hipped roof with plain bargeboards and a branched cast-iron finial; above the porch, a turret-like half-dormer with a cross-window and steeply-pitched hipped roof with a similar finial; to the left is an extruded chimney stack with slight offsets of tumbled brick and a vertical panel with a stone shield at the top (and rebuilt flues above); and to the right is a steeply-gabled bay which has a mullion-and-transom 6-light window at ground floor with a brick relieving arch, a tall cross-window at 1st floor with arched patterning above, plain barge boarding and a finial like the others. The south front (to the garden), of 2 bays under unequal gables, has a stone canted bay window at ground floor to the left, and 6-light windows like that at the front. The west side is in similar style, but has an added conservatory. The coach-house at the rear, recently altered, is rectangular, 2 storeys and 3 windows, formerly symmetrical; with a doorway in the centre, a window above this with a gablet over, a coach garage to the right with a chamfered wooden lintel, and a garage to the left altered as a loose box, loading doors over each of these, and a half-hipped roof with finials. HISTORY: built as parsonage to Lathom Park Chapel of St John. Forms a group with Lathom Park CE Primary School approx. 250m. south (q.v.), with Preston Lodges on the east side of the road (q.v.), and with The Croppers approx. 150m north (q.v.).
