POWICK CP - SO 84 NW 6/87 Prior's Court 11.8.52 - II House. Late C16. Restored 1898-9. Timber-framing with some brick infill and tile roof. Built around a small courtyard, approximately 4 by 5 metres. Two storeys with attic. Entrance front, on north side, of three gabled bays with irregular framing and iron casement windows. On the ground floor the left-hand bay has two slightly curved tension braces. The trusses have vertical struts between tie-beams and collars. The porch, in the middle bay, is of a single storey and has gables facing in three directions. It is supported on turned posts treated as crude Tuscan columns. The oak doorway has two large panels with applied ovals and an iron Y-knocker. Chimney to left of second gable has two diagonal shafts. East wall has two gables. Under the left-hand gable is a moulded rail at first floor level. Above it is a tripartite sash with glazing bars. Against the rear (south) wall is a projecting stack with a plaque inscribed 'AG' and two star-plan shafts. Interior: the doorway from the courtyard into the south range opens into a cross-passage, partly open to the main living room to the west. This is partly lined with re-set oak raised and fielded panelling incorporating some C17 fragments. A wide oak C17 stair rises within this room and has two flights at right-angles, a closed string, turned balusters, newels with ball finials, and a moulded handrail. The parlour, to the east, contains a wide fireplace with chamfered stone jambs and chamfered bressummer. The ground floor rooms have chamfered ceiling beams which seem to be contemporary with the walls. A bedroom on the north-west side of the house contains a fire- place with a carved surround which incorporates some C17 work and a C16 linen- fold panel.
