former Coach-house 1317-0/0/10001 to Marsden Hall GV II

Coach-house, now store (etc), recently damaged by fire. Probably mid to later C18; altered. Watershot coursed sandstone rubble with quoins, stone slate roof. Broad L-plan with rear gable to street and wider front gable facing Marsden Hall. Two storeys. The gabled west facade has a stone balcony to the 1st floor carried round from the north side and extending almost the full width, and cavetto-moulded gable coping with kneelers and a large urn finial with the slender shaft of a former weathervane. The ground floor has 2 wide round-headed wagon doorways offset to the right, both with C20 board double doors, splayed voussoirs and keystones interrupted by the balcony, and between these a square- headed window in C17 style with double-chamfered surround and hoodmould with shield stops (now boarded). The 1st floor, served by a balcony with cast-iron stick-baluster railings and carried on large moulded stone brackets, has an unusual 7-light mullioned window with square-cut flush mullions (the 4th, 5th and 6th lights with damaged 6-pane glazing boarded internally and the others boarded externally), a coupled pair of doorways to the right blocked with stone but furnished with lugs for outward- opening doors, and a boarded 1-light window right of these; and in the gable is a round-headed stone-louvred window with a keyed plain surround. The north side has (inter alia) external steps to the balcony, a doorway at the top of these with plain surround, a former doorway below the balcony altered as a window, near the left (east) end a square-headed doorway with chamfered quoined surround, tall windows and a sliding door at ground floor, and 4 square windows at 1st floor (all boarded). The south side, stepped back beyond the 1st bay, has (inter alia) at 1st floor of the 1st bay a rectangular sundial angled slightly to the right, with a moulded corbel, frieze lettered "Lat 53 49 N / Lon 2 10 W" and "AD 1837", and a shaped panelled face inscribed: "Test well Thine Heart, Thy will, Thy words, Thy way / And the True Light will guide to Glorious Day"; and a set-back 3-window portion which has a blocked doorway, a blocked square window on each floor to the left and 2-light windows to the right with flat-faced mullions. The rear gable (to the street) has 2 blocked doorways at ground floor, an inserted loading doorway above to the right and a 3-dimensional cruciform finial. Interior not accessible. History: not known, but mullioned window at west end and inserted loading doorway at east end suggests conversion to use as handloom weaving workshop c.1800. Forms group with Marsden Hall approx. 150 metres west (qv)
