Stamford - Barn Hill House 2015-02-18

04 Apr 2015 94
House of 1698 (the fireplaces are in the corners of the house, giving the rooms angled corner fireplaces as often seen in houses of this date, which explains why the windows are pushed towards the middle of the façade); according to the RCHM, the window surrounds suggest a remodelling in the mid-C18, but the remaining details of the entrance front derive from a further remodelling designed by Bryan Browning for the Marquess of Exeter in 1843-4. RCHM: www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/stamford/pp60-68 (mon. 96); listing: list.historicengland.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1360348 . The C18 gate piers are separately listed: list.historicengland.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1147390 .

c.1700, with later 18th-century wrought iron railings. Presumably the ground-floor and first-floor windows originally had mullions and transoms (although possibly wooden ones, unlike the stone mullions of the blocked windows in the basement); even allowing for that, the proportions seem somewhat strange to me.

c.1700, with later 18th-century wrought iron railings. Presumably the ground-floor and first-floor windows originally had mullions and transoms (although possibly wooden ones, unlike the stone mullions of the blocked windows in the basement). The lintels of the windows have been incised in imitation of flat arches.

Cropped from the main photograph of this house, with colour levels adjusted to suit this section of the photo.

Stamford - Stukeley House, 9 Barn Hill 2015-02-18

04 Apr 2015 94
Built and presumably designed by Henry Tatam, alderman and cabinet maker, between 1796 and 1801, on the site of a house occupied by the antiquary, William Stukeley, while he was vicar of All Saints. Unusual features of the façade, such as the treatment of the cornice and the windows (especially on the first floor), probably reflect Tatam's cabinet-making experience. The porch is an early C19 addition. RCHM: www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/stamford/pp60-68 (mon. 97); listing: list.historicengland.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1147402 . On the far right is the one-bay front of no. 10, dating from 1804, with rusticated quoins and window surrounds which would have been unfashionable by that date but which echo the mid-C18 no. 13 .

Dated 1740 on a rainwater head. The wrought-iron railings are presumably contemporary. List description: list.historicengland.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1360350 ; RCHM: www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/stamford/pp60-68 (mon. 100).
