Wherever or what ever it is, it's well hidden. I note that there are "croix pattée" symbols carved in the stonework at the top of the pillars at the door. Having tried about every variable, it's being a pain to find.  :-[ :-[

Personally, I don't think it is a church hall or a vicarage.  It might be originally have been a chantry chapel which the Victorians appropriated for wider church use.  So much changed in church buildings during Victorian 'restorations.' Sadly, we don't always know what these buildings might originally have looked like.  And any building shown in a photograph might already have been 'victorianised' since photography is a relatively new medium.

A vicarage is of course only the place where the vicar lived.  I would hope it looked more like a house and had better sized windows that those small church-sized windows !

I think that the church tower is hidden behind the main building due to the angle of view.

A few ideas  ;)

Perhaps it's a Chapel as part of an estate and the gentleman with his back to the
camera is Lord Someone-or-other talking to the vicar who receives his living from the
said Lord Someone-or-other ;D ;D ;D

Are you suggesting Lord Something-Or-Other posed for the photo to show his constituents he does go to church? Or will he have a copy of the pic in his Funeral Suit  8)

Wow, everyone's been busy with this one! 

I've rescanned and zoomed in on the cross, don't know if it's much better though.
