About Phillips House
Phillips House in Much Marcle, Herefordshire stands across the lane from St Bartholomew's Church.
This Grade II* listed former vicarage was built in the 17th century with a Restoration façade facing the church and a later Queen Anne front oriented towards British Camp in the Malvern Hills.
Inside, a Jacobean staircase rises through the house to the former servants' quarters in the attic.
The owners lead visitors through the ground floor rooms and gardens.
The property is a member of Historic Houses.
History of Phillips House
Phillips House served as the vicarage for Much Marcle, a parish living substantial enough to support a prosperous clergy household, until the 1950s. Its building history spans from the Civil War period through to the twentieth century, and the owners have researched how successive vicars lived within it through those upheavals, including both World Wars.
Architecture of Phillips House
The house presents two distinct faces: a 17th-century Restoration façade addressing the church, and a later Queen Anne elevation oriented towards the view of British Camp in the Malvern Hills. Inside, a Jacobean staircase rises through the house to the former servants' quarters in the attic.
