Description


MAVESYN RIDWARE C.P. UTTOXETER ROAD (west
SK 01 NE side), Rake End

6/121 The Old Rectory and
attached walls and
9.3.53 gate piers

- II*

House, walls and gate piers. Circa 1728. Red brick; hipped plain tile
roof; brick ridge stacks. 2 storeys and attic with rusticated quoins
of unequal length and moulded eaves cornice. 5 window front; 12-pane
glazing bar sashes with exposed sash boxes, aprons and gauged brick heads.
Central 6-panel doors with moulded architrave, raised key and moulded cornice
hood. 2 short lengths of wall terminating in a pair of rusticated ashlar
gate piers with ball finials enclose a small front courtyard. At the
rear is a 2 storey bow window of the 1790's with large stone mullioned windows.
Interior. Early C18 dog-leg staircase with turned balusters and open
string with carved tread ends. C18 oak panelling in one of the front
rooms. Late C18 plaster cornice in the ground floor rear room with
the bow window. The Old Rectory is almost certainly to be identified
with the Well-house which was described by Stebbing Shaw thus: "It is
a neat modern brick house, standing by the road side, erected about 70
years ago, having been lately improved by the present owner Mr. C.B. Robinson,
attorney at law". Stebbing Shaw, The History and Antiquities of Staffordshire
vol. 1 (1798) p.161.
