LANDRAKE WITH ST ERNEY
SX 35 NE ST ERNEY

5/34 Garden wall and shippon attached
to north of St Erney House

GV II

Garden wall and attached shippon; the shippon formerly a house. Wall dated 1728,
built in 2 sections, one joined to each side of the shippon, which pre-dates the
wall, probably of late C17, with later alterations. Wall in slatestone rubble with
greenstone coping. Shippon in slatestone rubble with slate roof with gable ends and
ridge tiles, some early ridge tiles remaining.
Plan: The shippon was originally a 2-room plan house, with each room heated by gable
end stack and central entrance to front. The wall is attached in a straight range
between St Erney House (q.v.) and the shippon, and extends in an L-plan beyond the
shippon.
The wall is about two to four metres high, according to the slope of the ground; in
the section adjoining St Erney House, there is a gateway with granite jambs and
lintel, with C20 wrought iron gate. Beyond the shippon, the wall extends about 10
metres, with a rounded corner, with another 15 metres in the L-plan. On the inner
side of the wall is a datestone of 1728 with illegible initials.
The shippon has a central cart entrance to the front. Right side has external stack
and 2-light window opening at ground floor to left, with timber lintel. Left side
has external stack, upper level in cob with first floor window opening, with timber
lintel and slate cill. The rear has a low window opening to right and smaller
opening to left. Roof has 2 hand made crested ridge tiles remaining.
Interior: 5-bay roof, of halved principals resting on the wall tops, with 2 rows of
purlins resting on the backs of the principal rafters. Low tie beams, with sockets
in rear wall. Each gable end had fireplace with timber lintel. All internal
partitions and upper floor removed.
