SO 97 SW DODFORD VICTORIA ROAD
1649-/9/10001 Great Meadow
II
House. Circa 1830-40, extended later in C19 and C20. Flemish bond red brick; English garden wall bond at sides. Welsh slate roof with gabled ends. Brick gable end stacks with square yellow clay pots. PLAN: 2 principal front rooms with entrance and stairhall between and with service room in integral 2 storey outshut behind the left hand room and an outbuilding behind the outshut. Later in the C19 the original outshut was extended to the rear of the right hand room and another outshut was built on the left side of the outbuilding wing. In C20 the outbuilding was converted to dwelling accommodation and another small outshut conservatory was built in the angle. EXTERIOR: 2 storey. Symmetrical 3-bay north west front. C19 12-pane sashes with flat rusticated painted stone arches and cills. Similar arch to central doorway with flush panel and glazed door and later C19 ornamental wooden porch with tented roof now glazed. 2-storey outshuts at rear, lower former outbuilding wing with outshut on outer side and small C20 conservatory in angle. INTERIOR: Most of the original joinery remains intact including 4 panel doors, dog-leg staircase with stick balusters, moulded newels and mahogany handrail and simple chimneypiece and grates in chambers; ground floor chimneypieces removed, but right-hand room has flanking cupboards.
NOTE: Recorded in deeds, it was property of Feargus O'connor founder of the Chartist Land Company, inaugurated in 1846. It is situated on a 4-acre plot like the 40 other Chartist houses in Dodford and was probably incorporated into the Chartist estate, which was intended to provide the tenants with independence and a county vote.
