Former parsonage, now two dwellings. Built 1863 for T W Gwillam.. Architect not
known but attributed on stylistic grounds to E F Law of Northampton. Coursed
ironstone rubble with limestone dressings; decorative tiled pavilion roofs with
elaborate ironwork ridge cresting. Regular central entrance hall plan with
separately roofed stair turret to rear; services and servants' accommodation
contained within annexes to right. 2 storeys with central attic block. Main range

glass hornless sashes throughout. Entrance front:symmetrical 3 window range,
central doorway with stone surround and plaque over containing the initials T W G

extension (contemporary) contains services and connects with storeyed servants'
accommodation under pyramidal roof, simpler detailing. Left elevation, 1:3:1, the

1:1:1 storeyed canted bay. Other elevations with rear of services carefully massed
and more simply treated. Interior not inspected but understood to contain its
complete fittings: stone fireplaces with unusual scooped and panelled surrounds and
moulded mantel shelves; boldly panelled doors in moulded stone surrounds. Door
