3/4 The Old Rectory 14.7.55
- II
Former rectory. Early C16 core; C18 and early C19 exterior. 2 storeys; set sideways-on to road. Timber-framed and rendered; part plaintiled, part slated. The building falls into 2 distinct sections. The earlier range has a half-H form, with 2 short cross-wings, that on the south east jettied, but on the north west underbuilt. 2 internal chimney-stacks with large plain square red brick shafts surmouted by square mid-C19 chimney-pots. Plain bargeboards to gables; across the centre range the gutters have a row of miniature cast- iron lions' heads (cf. The Red House, Nethergate Street, Hopton). Small-paned sash windows in flush frames; half-glazed double doors with an early C19 timber lattice-work porch with tented lead roof. At the extreme east end is an early C19 semi-circular white brick extension, single-storey, with a flat lead-covered roof and moulded cornice. Small-paned sash windows in flush frames; a half-glazed French door. To the west of the older range a large 2 storey extension of circa 1830, timber-framed and rendered, with a hipped slate roof; 3 window range: small-paned sashes in flush frames with fitted sunblinds on top. The north-western crosswing of the older range has a plain crown-post roof, with octagonal crown-post braced only to the collar-purlin; the vestigial remains of the same roof-type in the south-eastern cross-wing. The central range of the roof was raised, apparently in the C18, with a few earlier rafters reused: probably originally an open hall. The house has associations with Charles Lamb the essayist (1775-1834).
