CARLISLE
NY3956 DEVONSHIRE TERRACE 671-1/5/114 (West side) 13/11/72 Nos.1-9 (Consecutive) (Formerly Listed as: STANWIX BANK, Stanwix Nos 1-9 (consec) Devonshire Terrace)
GV II
Terrace of 9 houses. Dated on keystone 1832, with 1840s additional houses and later alterations. Flemish bond brickwork with light headers; on chamfered stone plinth (all dressings of calciferous sandstone) with V-jointed quoins on end houses, sill bands and eaves cornice. Graduated greenslate roofs, hipped on end houses; 2 houses with roof dormers; original shared ridge brick chimney stacks. 2 storeys; 2 and 3 bays each; built in groups of 2 and 3 houses, each group with a different roof line, stepped up the slope; No.1 has a 3-bay return facing onto Cavendish Terrace and No.9 a 3-bay return on St Georges Crescent. Left, right and sometimes central, panelled doors and overlight in prostyle Ionic porches, up steps. Sash windows, some with glazing bars, in stone architraves, many ground floor windows have been replaced with later C19 canted or square bay windows. Through segmental stone carriage arches between many of the houses, some are open but others have plank and panelled double doors. No.1 has a tetrastyle porch on its return. INTERIORS: some panelled shutters at ground- and first-floor windows; panelled doors. Principal rooms have moulded plaster ceiling cornices and central roundels; some have marble fireplaces. HISTORY: Built on land belonging to the Duke of Devonshire hence the terrace name. There is mention of Isaac Bond on 22-23 July 1832 of Devonshire Terrace (Cumbria County Record Office, DX/556). The 1839 Tithe map shows 5 houses only, Nos 1 and 2 then being one house; Studholme's map of 1842 shows 6 houses; by 1847 there were 7 families living in the terrace and in 1850/1 the numbering seems to have ended at No.7. However, the Carlisle Patriot (1857) has a sale notice for No.9, so the terrace was certainly complete by that date, with its present numbering. (Carlisle Patriot: 13 November 1857).
