Summary

This former rectory, now a private house, was built for the Rev. Whitwell Elwin, who rebuilt the parish church (NHER 7472). However, this time he employed an architect. The house was built in about 1860, and is in the Jacobean style, of red brick with limestone dressings. It is two storeys high with attics above and has a steeply pitched tiled roof. There is a single storey service wing to the west. Some of the ground floor windows in the main house have interesting stained glass roundels.
