Intriguing to compare this view of the Arts and Crafts building, dating from 1887 and by J D Sedding, with the image at http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=473497&mode=adv , taken in 2002, some while after what Cherry & Pevsner (who refer to it as a "clergy house") called "unpromising repairs in progress, 1991". As the listed building description points out, it is on an "irregular corner site plan with various projections designed to give interest from any viewpoint". The area has now been smartly renovated in line with a 2004 planning and design brief - see http://www.rudi.net/system/files/file/required_file/Plymouth+Harwell+Street+Design+Brief.pdf .
