AIREBOROUGH THE GREEN SE 14 SE LS20 (east side, off) Guiseley 4/73 Rectory Hall 19.10.1962 GV II*

Rectory, now house. Dated 1601 on porch, but incorporating some fabric which may be earlier; renovated, and altered internally, in 1907. Coursed squared sandstone, stone slate roof. Rectangular 4-unit plan, with rear outshut, and rear wing to right-hand end. Two and two-and-a-half storeys, 5 bays and 3 gables, almost symmetrical; chamfered plinth, continuous dripmoulds on 2 levels; central 2-storey gabled porch has Tudor-arched outer doorway with moulded surround, a square datestone over the lintel enclosed by a dripmould with lengthy inscription in Latin (see below) dated 1601. At 1st floor a recessed transomed window of 3 round-headed lights with hollow spandrels, and in the gable a 2-light window with a hoodmould, a diamond-shaped sundial over this; stone gable coping with kneelers carrying open-work finials, and apex finial. Otherwise, ground floor has transomed windows of 5, 7, 6 and 3 lights; 1st floor has windows with 5, 5, 5 and 3 round-headed lights; and gables of outer bays have 2-light windows with hoodmoulds, gable copings with kneelers bearing finials, the kneelers on the inner sides linked to parapets over the inner bays, with the pseudo-gargoyles (perhaps ex-situ). Two ridge chimneys flanking the porch, external chimney stack at left gable, another chimney at right-hand gable. Lead downspouts and rainwater heads, those to the left of the porch lettered "1907" and "JFH" respectively. Left return wall has a large blocked window on each floor forward of the chimney stack, a C20 canted bay window in C17 style to the rear of this. Right-hand return wall has a blocked square window at ground floor and above this a corbelled- out chimney and a transomed window of 5 round-headed lights (the outer lights anciently blocked), a 2-light attic window, and gable coping with kneelers and finials.

Interior: longitudinal partition between front range and rear outshut, perhaps remains of former timber-framed building, with massive wall-posts interrupted at 1st floor by a horizontal beam running at this level, but with some exposed closed studded framing at 1st floor of the left end; principal room, to left of porch, has very large beams and secondary beams with deep chamfer and triangular stops at the ends and at the junctions, where free- standing posts appear to be modern insertions; otherwise altered. g
