Place & story

The Old Rectory

Newchapel’s former rectory dates from the early 1790s. Limestone steps lead to a raised entrance with a round-headed doorway and cobweb-pattern fanlight. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage records sash windows which become smaller on the upper floor, with shutters inside. Behind the house, wrought-iron gates lead into a yard of single- and two-storey outbuildings, including an upper room with louvred windows. [2]
