GV
Former jail-house, subsequently said to have been used as fire station. Early C19,
1980s interior alteration and reglazing. Main block red sandstone ashlar with grey
limestone dressings; end stacks, the left end stack with a stone shaft. The left end
block is rendered and probably brick on stone rubble footings.
Plan: 2 adjoining blocks, the left hand block slightly set back, the right hand block
with a central entrance.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 1:3 bay front, the right hand block symmetrical
with a central C20 timber front door with a rectangular fanlight. Ground floor
window right, converted from a doorway, with a segmental arch with a rusticated
keystone. 2 smaller similar first floor windows and 1 ground floor window left. The
left hand block has one ground floor 2-light window and, in the left return, 1 first
floor and 2 ground floor windows. All windows reglazed with small pane plastic
casements.
Interior: Not inspected. .
A lock up house was requested in 1844. In 1849 G. Timewell was appointed
Superintending Constable at a salary of £25 p.a. (D.R.O.).
In spite of the reglazing this is of historic interest as an unusual building type.
