3/30 Minaret, boundary walls and gate piers to north of Hope 15.5.75 End Hotel
GV II*
Minaret, boundary walls and gate piers. 1810-1820 probably by LC Loudon for and in collaboration with E Moulton-Barrett. Minaret: render on brick core. 2 stages consisting of a column and echinus under a band supporting a thinner column with a conical cap above which are 3 diminishing copper spheres topped by a crescent. 2 columnar turrets act as gate piers roughly opposite. Boundary walls in rubble and brick connect with minaret and gate pier turrets with the former stable block (qv) and describe a loop to form a yard. Elizabeth Barrett- Browning lived here from 1809-10 when she was 3 until her father E Moulton- Barrett sold Hope End in 1832. He had made a fortune from his plantations in Jamaica but was forced to-sell Hope End but dot before its eccentric Moorish atmosphere influenced his daughter in eg, The Lost Bower. The house lay immediately 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 Picturesque. Group value with Hope End Hotel, stableyard gateway, boundary wall and offices (qv) (CL, 19th September 1968).
