II
Parsonage: Core later C17, altered and added to 1861 perhaps by A. Darbyshire for William Legh. Washed and pebble-dashed rubble with stone dressings. Kerridge stone-slate roof with stone copings and kneelers and a stone ridge. 2 plastered brick stacks. Later C17 plan, 3-unit lobby entry house, adapted in 1861 into double-pile house with 2 parallel ridges. 2-storey, 4-bay front, in Gothick style. To right, canted bay windows on both storeys with horned sashes and no glazing bars. Left end and third bay, 6-pane sashes in chamfered stone surrounds with hood moulds on ground floor. In second bay, there is a projecting, coped, gabled, porch with a lancet, with entrance to left in chamfered stone surround with 4-panelled door behind, under plain, broad, pointed arch and Gothick fanlight. Interior: 3, C15 cambered tie beams carved on both sides, are visible in the first floor ceiling. Lower halves are heavily moulded and there are 3 flank shields above, central ones flanked by trefoil moulding. 2 moulded beams survive on ground floor, in hall an ovolo moulded, in kitchen chamfered with flat and tongue stop. Staircase of C.1860 has trefoil pierced iron balusters with hexagonal newels with moulded panels on each face. Former box pews with quatrefoil mouldings; now landing cupboards:
Mrs Marshall (S. Marshall, "Disley Vicarage and Sir Piers Legh V", Trans. Lancs. and Ches. Ant. Soc. 1982, 133-140) argues that core fabric belongs to early C16 chantryhouse. However, the carved beams have been shortened and they support a later roof truss. Nevertheless they must have been re-used from a locally important building.
