Description


HANBURY CP SCHOOL ROAD (north side) SO 96 SW 3/136 Ice house about 250 yards north-west of Hanbury Hall

GV II Ice house. Mid-C18. Brick. Circular plan; floor of about 12½ feet diameter; the walls are cambered and rise to a diameter of about 16 feet at the springing of the domed roof; the dome is about 20 feet high at its apex. The north-west entrance passage is vaulted, about 28 feet long and slopes down from the pit to a sump near the entrance door. There is also a hatchway on the opposite side of the ice house through which it was filled; this is now glazed. West of the ice house were a series of pools fitted with sluices where the ice was made. The ice house is a particularly good example of its type.
