History and description edit

Burges designed the vicarage in 1859.[1] His patron appears to be unrecorded.[2][3] Pevsner notes the vicarage is "a somewhat surprising house to find in a small Holderness village".[1] In the following year, Burges also drew up designs for the parish church but these were not executed.[1] The vicarage is of red brick with a seven-bay frontage.[1] Anthony Jennings describes the building as in Burges's "eccentric Northern French fairytale style".[4] Its interior retains "many original features, including the staircase and a number of fireplaces".[1] The building is Grade II listed.[2]
