The old rectory. It has a great hall, a solar, vaulted cellars and many outbuildings. Later faced with false gothic. The rectory from 1700-1930. High pitched wooden roof. Nailed to the roof were four wooden pulley wheels, from one of which still dangled a length of rope, and, in the middle of the pulley wheels, was a long beam with two vertical rollers on either side of a hole cut in the supporting beam, with a horizontal roller at the back of it. The rollers are marked by the passage of a rope, which connected the five parts. Of oak and home-made. A small wooden roller with a handle was found with them. Probably the last remains of William Davy's printing press. The pulleys held the lines on which the printed sheets were dried.
