Location of Bewholme Vicarage in East Riding of Yorkshire

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 and description

Burges designed the vicarage in 1859.^[1] His patron appears to be unrecorded.^[2]^[3] Pevsner notes the vicarage is "a somewhat surprising house to find in a small Holderness village".^[1] In the following year, Burges also drew up designs for the parish church but these were not executed.^[1] The vicarage is of red brick with a seven-bay frontage.^[1] Anthony Jennings describes the building as in Burges's "eccentric Northern French fairytale style".^[4] Its interior retains "many original features, including the staircase and a number of fireplaces".^[1] The building is Grade II listed.^[2]
