Title | The Old Vicarage |
Description | This vicarage is now used as offices for John Ryan and Partners (English Heritage, 1986). It is dated 1886 and was built by T F Healey from hammer dressed stone with a stone slate roof. It is a mixture of Gothic and Vernacular Revival style. It is two storeys high with an attic, and has a three cell plan with an internal porch. There is a parapet above the first cell, while the second and third cells break forwards slightly under separate coped gables with eaves finials. All the windows are double chamfered mullioned windows. The second cell has a four light window with cusped ogee lights, as in the clerestorey of St. Wilfrid’s Church (PRN 884). To the right is a wide semicircular arched doorway with chamfered jambs and a richly moulded head, and a hoodmould that rises to form a fleur de lys on the date stone. The inner doorway has a false ogee lintel and richly moulded jambs. To the right is a tall cusped light with a decorative leaded window that was removed from Calverley Hall c.1907 (PRN 8660). There is also another window from the same source. The interior has a large main galleried stair hall with carved and turned balusters and newels.
