Details
GREAT COXWELL SU29SE Court House Farmhouse 4/95 10/11/52 GV II Farmhouse. C16 core, altered in the C17, the C18 and extended in the C19. Rubble stone and dressed stone quoins with a steeply pitched gabled stone tiled roof and end stacks: the W stack of renewed stone, the E rising from a stepped buttressed stone flue with a brick base and renewed stone top. Possibly an original 'open hall' plan, floored and extended by a SE wing in the C17 and given a SW wing in the C19. The N front is late C17 in character of 2 storeys and 5 bays. The upper windows have large 2-light casements but those on the ground floor are 4-light windows with stone ovolo mullions and transomes with small- paned C18 wood lights. C20 glazed door in plain glazed C19 porch. The S front has a further 3-light ogee mullioned window on the SW at ground floor level and 2 others of 2 and 3 lights with ovolo mullions and dripstones to the SE. The 2 S wings comprise a 2-storey 1-bay C19 range of rubble stone with a half hipped stone tiled roof to the SW and a SE range of roughcast on rubble stone with a gabled stone tiled roof in which there is another 3-light mullioned window. The S doorway is placed centrally but enclosed within the C19 wing. It has a stone four- centred arch with a single chamfer and gives onto a central passage which has a heavy ceiling beam consisting of an ovolo, a cavetto and an ogee moulding. Remains of the mediaeval roof timbering can be seen in the NE bedroom where a truss, a collar and 2 wind braces are visible on the underside of the roof. Probably on the site of the grange of Beaulieu Abbey. The manor was held by Beaulieu Abbey from 1205, it was leased to William Morys (Morris) in the early C16 and purchased from the Crown by Thomas Morris in 1540. His descendant Francis Morris sheltered Edmund Campion in the house in 1581.
