BEAUMONT-CUM-MOZE CHURCH LANE TM 12 SE

5/8 Beaumont Hall 29.4.52 GV II*

House. Late C17, altered in C18, C19 and C20. Red brick in English bond, some plaster, roofed with handmade red clay tiles. Complex plan comprising (1) main block of square plan facing NW, with an internal stack at right, (2) square wing to right of one storey with attics, with C20 conservatory to the rear, (3) service range to left, facing NW, with 2 internal stacks, (4) service crosswing to left of it, extending forwards and backwards, with one internal stack, and one external stack to left with oven beyond, (5) C19 extension to rear of it, and lean-to extensions to left. 2 storeys with attics. Scattered fenestration, mainly late C19/early C20 casements in segmental arches, but including 2 sashes of 12 lights on the ground floor. 4-panel door and plain fanlight at front of late C19/early C20 porch with curvilinear gable. Plain boarded door in service range (3). String course at first-floor level. Partly obscured by creeper at time of survey, September 1985. 4 curvilinear gables each having one convex quadrant and one concave curve on each side, a segmental head with a string course at its base, and a projecting brick coping. The 2 gables on the main block (1) have a string course at the base of the gable. 2 firemarks attached to main block (1), Sun and Salop Fire Office. The right wing (2) has a C19 sash of 6 lights in a dormer with a curvilinear gable of similar style. The rear elevation has on the ground floor 3 sashes of 12 lights, and a splayed bay with French window and 2 more sashes, and on the first floor 4 similar sashes and one blocked window aperture. Some of these sashes may be C20 reproductions, for a photograph taken by the RCHM c.1920 shows another first-floor window blocked. 2 similar curvilinear gables, and a similar dormer on extension (2). The right return has 2 similar gables on the main block (1) and one on the extension (2). The left return has a similar gable on the service range (3). Open well stair with moulded handrail and turned balusters. C18 pine panelling in one front ground-floor room of block (1). Introduced early C17 oak panelling in ground-floor room of block (3). This room has chamfered joists of horizontal section, some with broach stops and some with step stops, indiscriminately mixed, which suggests that they have been re-used from an earlier building. Pevsner describes this as 'a remarkable and characteristic example of Essex brick architecture of c.1675' (The Buildings of England - Essex, 1965, 79), but his suggestion that 'internal features, however, seem to prove that the house itself is earlier and was only remodelled about 1675' appears to be based on the joists of block (3), and is not supported by other evidence visible at the time of survey. The fountain he described was sold c.1970. RCHM 3.
