PAINSWICK GYDE ROAD 8610/8710 (east side) 6/113 Gyde House and terrace wall with steps 10.4.86 II Orphanage, now children's home. c.1913 by Percy Richard Morley Horder. Painswick stone ashlar, stone slate roofs. Large symmetrical block with shallow 'U' to main front, and 3 rear wings forming an 'E', with central arm longest. An irregular institutional plan with no major statements for public rooms or staircases; former dormitory spaces have been sub-divided. South front 2½ storeys, cross-gabled with projecting outer wings in one bay and long central section having central coped gabled bay with oriel over doorway, flanked by two lesser flush gables on either side. complex window rhythms with mullioned and transomed casements plus stopped hoods to ground floor, pattern of many small casements at first floor, and mullioned casements with stopped hoods in gables. Windows generally plain chamfer, but ground floor has recessed chamfer mullions. In internal corners to wings large external stacks with stone slated offsets carrying diagonally set flues with neckings and moulded cappings. Centre bay is flanked by two ridge stacks with flues as before. Two-leaf oak door in Tudor surround centrally. Right return has two flush gables, various casements and a Tudor door roughly central; left return similar, but extends to include large round archway giving access to courtyard; a bellcote over this. On entry to courtyard, there is a canted 1-storey bay opposite archway, and, to right a gabled porch with bolection mould door surround to deep-set pair of doors. Central wing is 5 or 6 windows deep, with 2 small and one larger Cotswold dormers, and 3 paired stacks, the central one with diagonally set flues. Across the full width of the main frontage is a terrace retained by wall in stone with plain copings, returned on the west front, and with sets of simple steps. The building is a good example of the continuing Cotswold vernacular tradition, and stands in a very prominent position overlooking Painswick.
