{1} Church Farm, Church Street. A complex of agricultural buildings in plot of land indicated 'Church Farm'. Remained in use as a working farm into the 1980s.

{3} Church Farm is an 18th-19th century farm complex immediately west of St Lawrence’s Church, enclosed by a tall brick boundary wall with 20th century ball finials at the piers and a modern central gate. The complex is formed of two building ranges laid out either side of a courtyard perpendicular to Church Street, one to the east which comprises the main house today, and that to the west which
is formed of several barns. The east range is built in red brick with a pitched slate roof. The windows are timber casement, painted white, with segmented arches above. Three double sets of chimneys sit at the apex of the roof. The barns are set at irregular heights and those furthest from the road are built in ironstone, contrasting to the remainder built in red brick. It would appear that traditional
fenestration and doors remain in this barn range.
