Bewholme Vicarage


Bewholme Vicarage, in the village of Bewholme, East Riding of Yorkshire, England, is a former vicarage designed by the architect William Burges in 1859. It is a Grade II listed building and is now a private residence.

History

Burges designed the vicarage in 1859. His patron appears to be unrecorded. Pevsner notes the vicarage is "a somewhat surprising house to find in a small Holderness village". In the following year, Burges also drew up designs for the parish church but these were not executed.

Architecture

The vicarage is of red brick with a seven-bay frontage. Anthony Jennings describes the building as in Burges's "eccentric Northern French fairytale style". Its interior retains "many original features, including the staircase and a number of fireplaces". The building is Grade II listed.
