Details

STANWICK ST JOHN STANWICK PARK NZ 11 SE 3/191 Clock House and attached gate piers 4.2.69 (formerly listed as Clock House at Stanwick Hall)

GV II

Coach-house and stable block, converted into houses, disused at time of resurvey, and attached gate piers. Rainwater heads on main block dated 1842, but probably late C18 with C20 alterations; early - mid C19 gate piers. Rubble with ashlar dressings, now patched with brick and cement rendered, Welsh slate roofs; ashlar gate piers. 2 and 3 storeys, 1:3:2:3:1 first-floor openings, the end and centre groups slightly projecting; with accretions to the rear. Central 2-bay block: 3 storeys; central 16-panel leaved coach-house door below 8-panel infilling of semicircular arch, all within ashlar architrave, the opening flanked by 8-pane round-arched windows with ashlar sills; above, 2 oculi with ashlar surrounds; second-floor band; 10-pane tripartite sash window; pediment with 6 dove-holes along its lower edge and scar of clock; above, timber cupola containing bells and surmounted by weather-vane. Flanking 3-bay blocks: on ground floor, 3 round-arched openings with ashlar surrounds and continuous lintels and impost band, a 6-panel leaved door in centre, flanked in both cases by 1 sash and 1 casement window, all with 5-pane overlights above the lintel; on first floor, 6-pane sash windows, cornice. End bays: ground floor, sash window to left, part-glazed door to right, both with continuous lintels and impost bands, below overlights as before; a 6-pane sash on first floor; cornice, with deep parapet above giving pavilion effect. Left return: central sash window, flanked by niches; 6-pane sash window on intermediate level; 2 blind oculi on first floor; pediment on parapet. Right return: on ground floor, sash window with glazing bars, 2-light casement window in ashlar surround, both with 5-pane overlight in ashlar surround linked to continuous impost band; cornice, deep parapet with corniced coping. At right angles to the right-hand end of the main block is a short length of rendered wall terminating in an ashlar gate pier, square in plan, with base; cornice capital and blocking above, with matching gate pier to its south. On the house are several rainwater heads cast with date 1842. However, it is recorded (VCH i, p 128) that an east wing was added to the Palladian hall in 1842, and that rainwater pipes there were dated 1662 and 1842. The Clock House was converted from stables to housing only when the hall was demolished, so it may be that the rainwater heads were salvaged from the hall and installed on the much-altered stables.
