SY6677NW ALL SAINTS' ROAD, Wyke Regis 873-1/29/615 (East side) 14/06/74 The Old Rectory and attached railings (Formerly Listed as: ALL SAINTS' ROAD, Wyke Regis The Rectory)

GV II

Former rectory, now private house. Possibly C13 or C14 work to basement, but mainly rebuilt and extended in late C18 and early C19. Rendered, slate roofs. PLAN: the building is set against the W boundary of the churchyard, and may have started as a Church House of single-room depth, probably entered from the upper level. It was greatly extended and modified, and has an L-plan main range, with a lower service range at the N end. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys to the W, becoming 2 storeys with basement on the E side. The entrance front has mainly sashes, original or carefully repaired; to the right is a hipped projecting arm with three 12-pane sashes at second floor and a 15-pane plus tripartite 5:15:5-pane at first floor, the latter to a small wrought-iron balcony. Ground floor has a panelled door in broad pilasters to heavy caps, flanked by 12-pane sashes. This part has a stone plinth, and a heavy mid band. To the left, set back, the top floor has 3 steel casements, above 2 small flush 12-pane sashes, and at ground floor a replacement sash and a deep-set door. The lower, hipped service wing has six 12-pane sashes and a projecting, full-height section under swept-down roof. The garden front, which is double-hipped to a central valley, has a 2-storey bowed oriel with 8:12:8-pane sashes and renewed dentil cornices, above a tripartite sash. To the left, in 2 bays, are 12-pane sashes, and a flat-roofed extension with canted bay S end. The front to the churchyard is cement rendered, in 2 sections, that to the right slightly stepped back. Far left, set at mid height in the wall, is a 3-light small-pane casement, then 2 large 1-pane sashes in reveals over 1 similar, and a central part-glazed panelled door in heavy pilasters with deep entablature; this is at the middle level with basement below. The right section has a smaller 12-pane, and each part has a casement to the narrow basement area facing a retaining wall to the churchyard. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: each section has a separate run of small

spearhead railings, returned at the door and the right-hand end. INTERIOR: restored 1992, after a period of neglect. It includes, in the basement wall adjacent to the churchyard, a mediaeval blocked stone pointed arch with simple chamfered members; other early work may be incorporated in the structure. Elsewhere the detail is late C18 or early C19, with a fine open-string staircase with stick balustrade and wreathed mahogany handrail rising in long flights in a narrow well through the full height of the garden range on the W side; some shutters and panelled doors remain, matching detail is being reinstated. The archaeological importance of the exposed medieval item, uncovered since the RCHME information and the former list were published, would merit further investigation. (RCHME: Dorset, South-East: London: 1970-: 374).
