The Old Rectory
The origin and development over the years of the Old Rectory is still subject to debate. The home as it stands today was constructed in the 17th century. It is notable that the home is now divided into two parts with what are called the north and south wings. The south wing incorporates a 16th century timber-framed house with detailed decorative patterning. The wings have separate private owners.
A blocked window at the rear of the house has a painted trompe-l'oeil of another window from which the Revd. Charles Cocks is seen looking out. His likeness was copied from a painting found in Eastnor Castle.
Both the north and south portions of the Old Rectory are Grade II listed by English Heritage.
