GV II

Carriage house and room over, now restaurant. Late C17 - early C18, probably for Henry Currer, with C19 alterations. Coursed gritstone and ashlar, graduated stone slate roof. 2 storeys, 3 x 2 bays. Ashlar angle pilasters to ground floor, rusticated quoins above; deep first-floor ashlar band with projecting band over; moulded eaves cornice. West side (to courtyard): central basket-arched carriage entry having double board doors with strap hinges, roll-moulded quoined jambs and voussoirs, the latter breaking the first-floor band. Flanking board doors in architraves with 2- light overlights. 3 flat-faced cross-windows to first floor; roll-moulded architraves with ashlar panels above and below; the central window blocked by coursed rubble chimney flue. Guttering supported by scrolled iron brackets. Ashlar stack at eaves, centre. East side (to garden): The higher ground level obscures the ground floor, access is by the central double glazed doors at first floor, via a double flight of stone steps with plain C20 iron balustrade. The doorway was originally a cross-window with elaborate architrave; flanking cross-windows with ashlar panels as west side. South front (to road): pilasters, ground-floor windows as side walls, the first-floor windows deeper with 18-pane sashes (restored); the plinth and first-floor band break forward slightly with the ashlar panels above and below the windows; the stonework of this front is better dressed than the side walls. The moulded eaves cornice is carried across the gable to form a deeply-moulded triangular pediment. Ashlar gable copings; acorn finial. North gable end: mostly obscured by C20 walling. Narrow window in architrave to ground floor, right; doorway in architrave with 2-light overlight to first floor, centre; ashlar panel above. Lead downpipe, probably reset, to right, the hopper has raised lettering " C " H A 1665 (Hugh Currer and his wife, Ann Haworth). Interior: stone flag floor to ground level, inserted staircase against east wall, inscriptions on the ground-floor south window sill date from 1770's and 80's and include the initials M A and a scratched sundial. First floor: enlarged fireplace, probably C19, moulded ceiling cornice, fielded panels to window reveals. Henry Currer (d.1723) has a memorial in the choir of Kildwick Church recording that he was ' a great proficient in the study of the law' who remained at Kildwick as a Justice of the Bench rather than making a fortune in London. He probably initiated the construction of this garden house, possibly an orangery, but no evidence has yet been found to indicate its use as a courtroom, other than the name. The first floor was apparently separate from the ground floor, was entered from the north side (nearest the house) and may have been unheated. The garden steps and entrance were probably made in the mid C19 when the Wilson family were in residence, but in 1911 it was used as a billiard room. Country Life, Vol 29, 1911, p132. T.D.
