6/121 The Old Rectory and attached walls and 9.3.53 gate piers
- II*
House, walls and gate piers. Circa 1728. Red brick; hipped plain tile roof; brick ridge stacks. 2 storeys and attic with rusticated quoins of unequal length and moulded eaves cornice. 5 window front; 12-pane glazing bar sashes with exposed sash boxes, aprons and gauged brick heads. Central 6-panel doors with moulded architrave, raised key and moulded cornice hood. 2 short lengths of wall terminating in a pair of rusticated ashlar gate piers with ball finials enclose a small front courtyard. At the rear is a 2 storey bow window of the 1790's with large stone mullioned windows. Interior. Early C18 dog-leg staircase with turned balusters and open string with carved tread ends. C18 oak panelling in one of the front rooms. Late C18 plaster cornice in the ground floor rear room with the bow window. The Old Rectory is almost certainly to be identified with the Well-house which was described by Stebbing Shaw thus: "It is a neat modern brick house, standing by the road side, erected about 70 years ago, having been lately improved by the present owner Mr. C.B. Robinson, attorney at law". Stebbing Shaw, The History and Antiquities of Staffordshire vol. 1 (1798) p.161.
