INGMIRE PARK, Marthwaite Ingmire Hall and Stables and outbuildings to north known as Ingmire Cottage

GV II

House. Remains of a C16 (in part possibly earlier) mansion with pele tower, altered and enlarged in the early C19 by George Webster of Kendal; extended c1900; partially destroyed by fire in the 1920s and extended again and partially remodelled in 1989. Coursed rubble with quoins, slate roofs. PLAN/EXTERIOR: the pre-C19 building appears to have consisted of a pele (at the N end), a hall range, and a crosswing (at the S end). The pele is internally ruinous; the hall has disappeared but the site was marked by Webster with a crenellated curtain wall which connects pele and wing and enhances its "medieval aspect". Generally 2 storeys, with attic to wing. The pele has a tall 3-stage cylindrical stair-turret at the NW corner, with slit windows and a high corbelled-out parapet with stepped crenellation; a slit window at ground floor, a 3-light mullioned window with a hoodmould at 1st floor, and a high embattled parapet with another slit window and a corbelled diagonal south-west corner. Its north side has (inter alia) 2 chamfered doorways of different heights and arch profiles. To the south extends Webster's curtain wall, which is symmetrical and vigorously articulated with high stepped crenellation flanking a large canted corbelled turret rising from a canted pier in the centre, and buttresses at ground floor flanked by 1- and 2-light windows. The crosswing is now the main house, an irregular 2-window range with central and angle buttresses, cross-windows, a 3-light mullioned window in the gable and a mock turret at the NW corner. Attached to the south-west corner, and overlapping it slightly, is the front end of a buttressed gabled porch with an arched doorway and obelisk-and-ball finials, which has been rebuilt and extended to the rear. Ridge chimney with clustered diagonal shafts. The south side of the wing, 2:3 windows in 2 builds, is irregular, with various coupled and 1-light sashes, and gablets with similar finials. Late C20 alterations to rear. INTERIOR not inspected but the crosswing, although considerably altered by Webster, appears to contain much early work. Set back behind courtyard to N is the stable block and cottage, L-plan, and medievalised by Webster with a "gatehouse" which dominates the main range: a wide bay with octagonal corner turrets flanking a wide 4-centred arch above which is a 3-light mullioned window. The lower side ranges appear to incorporate earlier fabric but are much altered; and attached at the north end is a single-storey 3-bay arcaded cart-shed. Forms group with group of farm buildings 100m west (qv) and with Ingmire Gardens to the north-east (qv).
