SJ 80 SW BONINGALE C.P. HOLYREAD ROAD (off south side) 6/112 Upper Pepperhill -
- II
House. Early C16, re-built c.1700 with later, principally C19 and C20, additions and alterations. Red brick on sandstone plinth, plain tiled roofs, gabled to right; massive C16 external brick end stacks on sandstone bases to left and right, another large external sandstone stack behind to right. 2 storeys; 4 bays with slight break (formerly gabled?) in centre of main range, the right hand one being a projecting cross wing; windows irregularly spaced, C20 casements in recessed openings with chamfered sills, entrance to left under plain flat-headed arch. To rear a blocked window at ground level presumably lit a cellar and another blocked opening is visible next to the front right hand end stack. In 1519 Sir John Talbot created a park at Pepper Hill and he may have been the builder of the first house. In 1698 3 chimney stacks collapsed and the house was re-built in the following year by William Hill, Steward to the Earl of Shrewsbury. For some years after 1880 it was divided into 2 cottages. The house is perched on a rock outcrop and commands extensive views over the surrounding countryside. T.S.A.S., 2nd Series, XI p.113; 3rd Series, IX, p.47.
