Cadw's description
Location
Located to the SW of the church. The driveway runs W off the road from Gorsedd to Pantasaph. The building is divided, with the vicarage to the L and accessed by the main entrance.
History
The vicarage was built in 1852-3 to the design of T H Wyatt, along with the Church of St Paul and the school. These buildings were funded by public subscription following the Pantasaph controvery in which the Church of St David became Roman Catholic.
Interior
The interior has a central stair hall, which has a dog-leg stair with plain balusters and turned newels. Simple panelled doors.
Reason for designation
Listed as a fine Victorian vicarage in domestic Gothic style, with few alterations, and for group value with Church of St Paul and the church hall.
