3/31 Stableyard gateway, boundary wall and offices to south of 15.5.75 Hope End Hotel
GV II
Stableyard gateway, boundary walls and offices. 1810 - c1820, probably by L C Loudon for and in collaboration with E Moulton-Barrett. Brick, rubble and render. South west stableyard entry with low flanking offices, curved plan to boundary walls with 5 minarets to east and south closing the yard. Gateway: rendered with lead cupola, square plan with semi-circular projection to north west. 2 storeys, carriage-arch on ground floor with cast iron gates; circular openings on first floor; polygonal cupola; the semi-circular projection was for pendulum to clock in upper chamber (both removed). Flanking offices as low brick and rubble roofless wings, curved plan, parapet walls ramped up to gate- way, behind which are straight stairs to upper chamber of gateway; game-larder. The stableyard is closed by brick and rubble walls to east and north about 4 to 6 feet high and 5 minarets of rendered brick with moulded ogee caps and finials. There are also in the wall 2 sets of gates: one at the north junction with Hope End Hotel and another to the south of the gateway, both late C19 cast iron. In the east wall of former game-larder is a re-used wide segmental-headed 9 panelled C18 door. Elizabeth Barrett-Browning lived here from 1809-10 when she was 3 until her father E Moulton-Barrett sold Hope End in 1832 when he removed the clock from the gateway. He had made a fortune from his plantations in Jamaica yet was forced to sell Hope End but not before its eccentric Moorish atmosphere influenced his daughter in, eg, The Lost Bower. The house lay immediately to the south east and was demolished in the 1870s. Its landscape setting, more certainly London's than the house itself, was probably influenced by Moulton-Barrett's intimacy with Uvedale Price at nearby Foxley and hence with the Picturesque. Group value with Hope End Hotel, minaret, boundary walls and gate piers (qv) (CL, 19th September 1968).
