TATENHILL C.P. RANGEMORE SK 12 SE 5/101 The Lawns 21.2.86 GV II
Shown on O.S. map as The Lawn. Country house. Possibly with an early C19 core, now obscured by the house of 1900 and later. Built for the Bass family. Rendered, probably over brickwork with stone dressings to parts. Flat roof invisible behind balustraded parapet; large centre stacks. ,The plan is T-shaped, built as an 'L' but shortly after enlarged for the visit of Edward VII. All in a loosely Italianate style. Entrance front: combines the north-east angles of the plan; 3 storeys, the ground floor is banded; deep patera frieze under a dentilled cornice below the parapet, even raised quoins and a pair of isolated giant pilasters, one built into the quoins to the left and the other stranded to the left of centre. A slight break of one bay to the right, against the return, is capped by a water tower. The main front has 3 pairs and one other window to the attic storey, all large-pane sashes in raised surrounds and set into the frieze; the windows on the first floor are all pedimented, one segmental to the right side, again sashes, 2 tripartite to the left; a 3-bay single-storey porch dominates the ground floor, set-in from the left; paired columns support a frieze and balustraded parapet wall set behind columns is banded and with round-arch windows to each bay and similar entrance to right with glazed double doors; a further entrance is set in the right break under the water tower; a lead plaque to the left of this carries the date 1822, possibly from an earlier house. The projecting billiard wing to the right completes the front and has a 2-storey 3-sided bay. The garden front is the closest to symmetry, of 4 bays and a central pediment which bears the date 1900. Interior: wide staircase in oak; heavily moulded balusters and details; ballroom has columnated flanking screens; a lift in the Edward VII wing has a complex cage in decorative wrought iron; one marble fireplace also remains in this wing.
