Description
Grade II. A vicarage, designed by Giles Gilbert Scott around 1929-1930 to accompany the neighbouring Anglican church of St Francis, High Wycombe.
The building is listed for the following principal reasons:
Architectural interest: - a building by the noted architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, which retains a high degree of its original designed form and shows Scott's mastery of massing and effective detailing.
Historic interest: - one of the relatively few domestic designs by Giles Gilbert Scott, which fully shows his ability to create an impressive composition with limited means and to blend styles on one site.
Group value: - with the Church of St Francis (Grade II+), also designed by Giles Gilbert Scott. See detailed listing description (B1).
