Summary of Importance/Criteria Decision
The vicarage to St George’s Church was built in 1897. The building is part of the late 19th century group that comprises Church, Schools and Parish Rooms, and makes a positive contribution to the conservation area.
Historic Asset Description

It was designed an Arts and Crafts, Queen Anne style by Austin and Paley, and is constructed of brick laid in English garden wall bond, with a gabled clay tiled roof and brick stacks. The building has informal asymmetric elevations, the 2-storey entrance elevation faces north, a 2-storey porch has a stone door surround with carved lintel, and 1897 on the gable date stone. Windows are small-paned casements or sashes, with gauged brick lintels with keystones. All openings were covered with boarding at time of visit and the vicarage closed.
