A small lean-to stable or outbuilding in the courtyard against the west end

Courtyard, west side: carriage house of 2 storeys and 2 bays, single-storey
bay to left. Carriage house: 2 C20 garage doors, that to left, under

to garden to right of centre; left: single-storey range of 3 outbuildings
with board doors and small-paned windows attached to house. The building
of the present vicarage followed a period in the late C18 - early C19 when
the vicar of Kirby Hill was unable to live in the village because of the bad
condition of the old vicarage. H Stapleton, The Church of All Saints, Kirby
on the Moor, 1923, p 51.
