MORECAMBE AND HEYSHAM
MAIN STREET, Heysham
(West side)
Nos.1-5 (Odd)
GV
II
Two houses. Built as Heysham Rectory in C17, extended in C18
and sub-divided into cottages in C19.
Sandstone rubble, whitewashed at the front, with slate roof.
Earliest part of house T-plan with rebated and chamfered
mullioned windows.
2 storeys. On the ground floor there is a single light fire
window and a 4-light window, under a drip mould which extends
over the doorway to the right. On the 1st floor there are 2
windows of 3 lights. The moulding of the door jambs extends to
form a stepped shape on the lintel, which is inscribed:
'1680'. The gables have stone copings at a pitch which
suggests that the roof was originally thatched. Built against
the left-hand gable is a stone chimney cap.
To the left are lower extensions. Adjoining the original
building is one bay which has windows with plain reveals and a
door to the right with similar reveals and a chamfered lintel.
To the left is a chimney.
Further left, in separate occupation and possibly the
conversion of a farm building, the facade is rendered and
blank except for one bay with small windows with plain
reveals, and a door to their left. The right-hand gable wall
contains a 2-light window on the 1st floor.
The gabled rear wing appears to be contemporary with the front
range and has 3-light windows to both the 1st floor and the
attic.
In the angle with the main house there is a 2-storey stair
projection with a blocked window above ground level and a
2-light window at a higher level. In front of and to the right
of the projecting wing are various lean-to additions.
Interior: main house altered, with removal of some partition
walls on ground floor. The present fireplace is of C18
shouldered type, but the 2 chamfered main beams now supported
by the chimneybreast are scarfed, suggesting that they were
originally supported on a firehood bressumer. The chamfer of
the front beam is inscribed: '1658 F?'.
The kitchen contains the remains of a stone spiral staircase,
the lower flight removed to allow the fitting of kitchen units
and the upper part blocked off. A Glebe Terrier in the
Lancashire Record Office (DRB 3/15) describes the rooms in the
house in 1778 and mentions a thatched barn 16yds long, a
shippon, a cart house, and a stable.
