GV II*

Manor house. Late C16, but incorporating some earlier C16 work in the E wing. For Richard Watkins (RCHME). Coursed and squared stone with Portland ashlar dressings, slate roofs, with some stone slate to eaves courses. PLAN: a long principal range in one-room depth is set gable to the road, and the W front adjoins the churchyard to the Church of St Ann (qv). The full-height porch on the E side is balanced by a similar stair turret on the churchyard side, and the earlier wing projects immediately adjacent to the porch. The original layout seems to have been to an L-plan, with a cross passage to the stair turret, and hall to the left, and kitchens with service range to the right of the porch. EXTERIOR: in 3 storeys, most windows are recessed hollow-chamfer moulded mullion stone casements, mainly with stopped labels. The entrance front has 2 coped gables to the left, with 3- over 4- over 5-light windows to each; the porch has 2-light at each level, and on the E side a doorway with 4-centred head and moulded stopped surround, under a pediment, with an inverted shield carrying the initials RW. The opening has a pair of iron gates, backed by plate glass. The inner doorway is similar, without the pediment, over a wide plank door on strap hinges; to its right, in the corner, is a small rectangular 'squint' window. The earlier gabled range to the right of the porch is in 2 storeys and attic with a 2-light casement without labels at ground and first floors. The gable has a stack, and a flush 2-light leaded casement, without mullion, to the attic, above a replica 2-light. The rear wall has a 3-light wooden leaded casement above a 2-light (formerly 3) and a C20 glazed door. The main range continues, with one original and one replacement 2-light with mullion and leading. Attached to this end is a lower slated service range. The gable end to the road has an external stack, and one small rectangular light at first floor. The churchyard front has a 2-window range, with 3-light casements, to the left of the stair tower, which has 2-light windows to the ground and second floors, the latter without label; there is a small stair light on the N side, and to the S a wide blocked doorway with flat 4-centred head and stopped moulded jambs, containing an inserted 2-light window. To the

right is a large projecting stepped stack, tied to the main roof slope with a slated roof, and with a projecting unit, similar to a bread oven, to its right; to left and right are 2-light casements at ground and first floors. There are further stacks to the W gable and to the W of the cross passage; all are in Portland ashlar with small moulded cappings. Gables have saddle-back copings, with finials on the entrance front, and to corbelled kneelers at the porch. INTERIOR: not available for inspection, but RCHME refers to a stone newel staircase, and a blocked hall fireplace retaining a 4-centred head. The parlour, originally beyond the hall, is now incorporated with it in one large room. (RCHME: Dorset, South-East: London: 1970-: 364).
