Icehouse. c. 1841-43. By Edward Blore. Coursed yellow sandstone
rubble of 3 storeys. Garden front: at left is a portion of walling
connecting it with the drying ground. This walling has a central
archway with a cambered head and three further receding archways
between which are channels carved as if to take portcullises. Above
this is a walkway. To right is the hexagonal body of the icehouse.
This has a porchway to the left-hand canted face, supporting the
walkway above which leads to a blocked doorway. The face at right of
this has a 2-light window to the ground floor and lancets to the first
and second floors. The entrance front has the wall containing a
cambered arch at right with a battlemented parapet above with
machicolation. To left of this is the tower which has to its right
hand angle a doorway. Blank walling above.
Interior: the floors and roof have been removed. Leading off from
the ground floor is a tunnel-vaulted corridor of brick which leads to
a circular chamber with domed ceiling and dished floor, also of brick.
The tunnel joins this chamber at its upper body.
