Description


SO 7900 NYMPSFIELD THE CROSS (north west side)

17/340 St Stephen's

27.8.70 II

Detached house. c1860 by Benjamin Bucknall. Coursed and dressed limestone; ashlar and rendered brick chimneys; concrete tile roof. Two-storey; rectangular. South east front: asymmetrical with roughly central doorway having hoodmould grouping with 2-light chamfered mullioned casement to right; doorway obscured by timber lean-to porch addition. Ground floor single-light casement to left with 2-light immediately below eaves. Shaped stone gutter brackets; original stone gutters and downpipes removed and replaced by standard C20 fittings. Central ridge-mounted chimney with cluster of 4 shafts, some C20 rebuilt. Parapet gabled ends: north east with central buttress, ground floor 2-light either side and C20 replaced 4-light above with relieving arch; quatrefoil gable vent. More alterations to south west end, 2 single-light ground floor casements, with C20 metal casement in rendered gable; quatrefoil gable vent. Rear: off-centre parapet gable with 2- light casements; segmental arched doorway below, hoodmould grouping with 2-light to right. Interior not inspected. Similar in design to Scar Hill (q.v.) but without the gabled stair wing. Like Bucknall's other Nympsfield buildings, this was built for William Leigh to provide accommodation for the recently founded Catholic community. (D. Verey, Gloucestershire: The Cotswolds, 1979)
