The Vicarage
Warton
Lancashire
With one part of this building dating from 1824 and the other dating from around 1300, this is one of Warton's oldest buildings. Listed Grade I, it can be found between Main Street and the Rectory just opposite St Oswalds.

The Rectory, only a few yards away, is from roughly the same period as the Vicarage. Both building were therefore likely built as the parts of the same complex of buildings, with the Vicarage being either an outbuilding, or specifically as accommodation for the Rectory.

The window shown above, a cusped lancet window, probably dates from the 13th century.

The portion of the building to the right with the four chimneys, is the 1824 addition to the Vicarage.
