Details
NEWBOLD ASTBURY C.P. SCHOOL LANE SJ 86 SW 4/65 St Mary's Cottage - GV II
House. c.1871. Shuttered concrete with a plain tile roof. Two storeys. Entrance front: of 2 bays at left is a panelled front door with trefoil headed panels to either side of which are metal window frames with honeycomb-patterned glazing bars. To right of this is a 4-light ground-floor window. To the first floor at centre is a lancet light and at right in the gable is a canted oriel of C20 supported on a stone corbel. The right hand side has a projecting gabled wing to left which has a 3-light casement window to the first floor. To right of this at ground floor level is a lean-to C20 porch behind which is a doorway with single-light windows at either side. At far right is an addition of brick rendered in simulation of the concrete blocks at left, and having a 2-light ground floor window. To the first floor are two matching dormer windows of 2 lights each. Ridge chimney stack at left of centre. The left hand gable-end has a 3-light casement window to the first floor. To the interior is C17 panelling. The house was built as a curate's house for the Church of St Mary, Newbold Astbury. It displays a curious form of concrete shuttering designed to imitate blocks of coursed rubble. A lattice of strips of wood was made to imitate the joints in the masonry and hessian was placed against this. Concrete was then poured into the hollow between this front and a backing of planks of wood and the concrete then bulged outwards slightly. The 'joints' in the 'masonry' were then grouted with mortar to complete the deception.
