Description

SD 47 SE WARTON MAIN STREET (EAST SIDE)

3/237 Old Rectory 2.5.1968 (formerly listed as Ruins of Rector's House in Vicarage Garden) I

Former Rectory, now a ruin, mid C14th. Rubble with sandstone dressings. Originally comprised an open hall, with service rooms and a 1st floor at the north end, extending as a wing to the east. Only the foundations of this wing survive, together with those of a porch to the eastern door of the cross passage. The steeply-pitched south gable of the hall has an ogee quatrefoiled light under the apex. At the north end is the cross passage, with moulded external doors and 3 chamfered service doors in the north wall. The north wall of the building has been partly rebuilt, but contains a central chamfered doorway with 2-centred arch, presumably leading to an external kitchen. On either side of this are chamfered lights with 2-centred heads. Scheduled Ancient Monument.
