The Old Vicarage was built in 1846 at a cost of £1,400 and originally contained ten bedrooms and its facilities included "a one-seated privy for the servants and a double-seated one for the family". As well as stables and a coach house, there was a cow-house, poultry shed and two pig sties. The garden at the front was described as a "pleasure ground" on the architect's plans. Before this building, there were two previous vicarages, probably on the same site. There is documentary evidence of a vicarage existing in the early 1600s and that this was replaced by one known to have been built in 1713. The new vicarage was built to the west in 1987 and the former vicarage seen here was sold and converted into Nicholas House Nursing Home.
