Building record 7324/0/11 - The Old Vicarage and outbuildings, Parsons Street

Former vicarage. Built in 1868 of coursed ironstone with ashlar quoins. Locally listed building.

{1} A substantial vicarage built by the Reverend Henry Herbert Minchin (vicar of St Mary’s) in 1868. The property is set back from the road within a large plot with an ironstone perimeter wall with ironstone gate piers and saddle coping; it is a particularly significant feature to the west along Parsons Street. Decorative cast iron railings also run along the top of the wall. The property has a principal gable to the west and cross wings to the east and north, all built of coursed ironstone with ashlar quoins. The gables are stone coped with pyramid style kneelers, and stone-and-brick chimney
stacks are placed at the eaves on both the western and eastern sides of the house. It has a three bay frontage and is of two storeys; the principal windows are all three-light timber casement with ashlar ironstone surrounds and dividing transoms. The main entrance way is located centrally, in the eastern cross wing. A range of outbuildings stands to the west built into the perimeter wall; a mixture of ironstone and brick buildings with Welsh slate roofs. Probably formerly used as stabling and storage, these outbuildings have a strong agricultural character and form a significant grouping with the Old Vicarage.
