What is recorded here

Detached circular-plan three-bay single-storey former gate lodge, built c.1820, now derelict. Set back from the road leading to the former rectory. Conical slate roof with circular brick chimneystack. Roughcast rendered walls. Round-headed window openings with cast-iron bars. Drop-arched door opening with timber battened door. Segmental-headed fire opening to central chimneybreast. Square-profile stone gate piers accessing avenue to former rectory with pyramidal tooled stone caps, wrought-iron railings, now partially demolished. Random coursed stone wall to road.

Referred to locally as "The Ink Pot", this gate lodge has a charming character. Folly-like in its appearance, the gate lodge marks the entrance to the rectory. Notable features include the central chimneystack that rises to a circular-plan chimneystack with surrounding conical roof.
