approx 1.5m high has shaped plinth with cornice and shaped

HISTORICAL NOTE: RW and C Jearrad bought the Lansdown
development from Pearson Thompson c1829-30, dismissing his
architect, JB Papworth and continuing building to their own
designs. It is reputed that the owner's choice of design for
house was influenced by vacations spent in Switzerland. This
is not as purely Swiss as, for example, Alpenfels at Leigh
Woods near Bristol, but the very broad eaves and the unusually
compressed upper storey with casements rather than sashes set
in louvred shutters is the most distinctively "Alpine" aspect
of the design.
