Architecture, archaeology and continuing use
A central gabled porch, twelve-pane sashes, balanced chimney stacks and a hipped graded-slate roof compose the south front. Gate piers and railings retain a formal separation from the road.
Its story
The manse was designed in 1850 to serve the village ministry. A recorded 1983 renovation adapted the house and linked its rear wing with an outbuilding.
Why it is included
The building adds clerical and domestic life to a village often understood only through industrial remains.
What to notice
- Balanced three-bay south elevation.
- Hipped roof between paired chimney stacks.
- Pyramidal caps on the roadside gate piers.
