Summary

The Vicarage is a house of the 16th or 17th century, appearing largely 18th century with a wing of 1910. The southeast ground floor room has 18th century panelling and a reused 16th century tiebeam, and the kitchen has two 17th century doors. To the north of the house is an early 19th century stables (now NHER 65171), and there is a late Norman or Transitional arch, presumably from abbey ruins, set into the yellow brick 19th century wall as a garden door (also now recorded separately, as NHER 65172).
