Ice House
3/124
II
Ice house. Circa 1758 with C19 ante-chamber. Mainly of local brick, the ante-
chamber coursed sandstone. Main chamber, double-skin wall with drain (containing,
ceramic pipe) and opening at top. Entrance passage badly damaged, barrel vault
(largely destroyed), also all double-skin, with steps up to elliptically-arched
entrance into chamber proper. The ante-chamber abuts the entrance passage at an
angle of almost 9O° and is clearly later. It appears to have been used for food
preparation prior to storage in the ice house and is an unusual feature. Barrel-
vaulted with preparation benches to each side, a separate drain and 2 wall recesses
with dressed surrounds.
