Full Description
The Old Vicarage is a fine example of a Victorian residence and probably the best-preserved old building in the village. Built of red brick by Ecclesiastical Commissioners in 1866 when Copmanthorpe became its own parish, it demonstrates a new phase in the life of the church of St Giles. It is a typical example of Victorian architecture in a period when many vicars had private means with which to employ servants to maintain their status and comfort. It is now a private dwelling, however, it still has high aesthetic and historic value and forms part of the core character area of the village.
