Details

COBURG ROAD 1. 1633 (North East Side) The Old Chancel SY 1287 1/7 12.10.51. I 2. Built by Peter Orlando Hutchinson, local antiquary and historian in 1864 and later. He was on the Committee for the restoration of the parish church in 1860. However, appalled at the severity of the "restoration" which left only the tower, he saved as much as possible of the original fabric, buying and re-erecting the chancel with its C18 east window, in the garden of his house No 4 Coburg Terrace Coburg Road. Later he added the rest of the house for his own occupation. This is built of old stone in a highly picturesque, if somewhat heavy Gothic style, incorporating some original Medieval work from the church. The narrow entrance front next to the old chancel has corner buttresses and a 3-centred arched door- way with drip mould. Above is a corbelled rectangular stone bay with a 2-light cusped-headed mullioned casement. The windows on the north front are 2 or 3-light mullioned casements. The roof line is irregular with gables and parapet, the east end has a pyramidal slate roof. On the south front is a tablet with monogram and the date 1864.
