WISWELL SD 73 NW 2/78 Vicarage House 13-2-1967 - I
House, early C17. Sandstone rubble with stone slate roof. 2 storeys. Lobby-entry plan. Windows mullioned, with hollow chamfer, outer chamfer, and hoods. To the left of the door are ones of 4 and 5 lights, to the right of one, 2, and 3 lights. The 1st floor windows are of 4, 2, 2, and 5 lights. The door has a chamfered surround with Tudor arch. Chimneys to left and right of door, and on left-hand gable set forward of the ridge. Coped gables with kneelers and ball finials. The left-hand gable wall has a 10-light mullioned and transomed window on the 1st floor. Inside, the door opens into a lobby against 2 large back-to-back fireplaces, originally with firehoods. Each has a stone jamb and a chamfered and stopped bressumer. The right-hand inglenook contains a smaller re-set stone fireplace with Tudor arch. The rooms served by the fireplaces have exposed chamfered and stopped main beams and common joists. The house contains much timber panelling, which appears to be C17 although incorporating some possibly early C16 work. Some of the panelling has been re-arranged and may have been imported from another building. The room to the right of the door is divided from the 2 right-hand rooms by a wall of vertical plank and muntin panelling with 2 intermediate horizontal rails and with 2 doorways with depressed arched heads each with an incised cross. Some of the muntins have carpenter's marks. The room to the left of the door has a similar panelled wall dividing it from the left-hand room, but the rails and muntins are moulded and the doorway has a Tudor-arched head with carved flower and tracery decoration in the spandrels. Set within the inglenook, surrounding a fireplace of Cl9 or C20 date is similar panelling with 2 doorways which have similar Tudor-arched heads, the upper parts of the doors also having tracery decoration. The stair is now within the lobby and has a straight flight with turned balusters. On the 1st floor there is further panelling.
