G.V. II

House. Dated over former cross-passage entrance E A 1690 (Addison) E A Born 56, There (sic) son R 86, Grace 81, with extensive alterations; inscribed over left entrance B & B A (Backhouse & Barbara Addison) and now erased date thought to have been 1792; further early C19 and mid C19 extensions. Incised painted stucco, with V-jointed quoins and eaves cornice, on chamfered plinth. Graduated greenslate roof with stone chimney stacks. 2 storeys, 4 bays with single-bay extension under common roof and further right-angled single-bay extension at front. Left entrance has top-glazed panelled door in fluted pilastered dentilled-pedimented doorcase. Sash windows with glazing bars in painted stone architraves. Right entrance has 1690 bolection surround with inscribed panel above. Interior chamfered-surround doorway from cross passage has lintel inscribed HE WISELY BUILDS WHO AFTER DONE DOTH GIVE THE POOR MUCH ALMS AND WELL HIMSELF TO LIVE, ROBERT VAUX 1690. Rear wall has very much altered stone-mullioned windows with mullions removed. Extension has large C19 chamfered-surround sash window. Sash window with glazing bars above in painted stone architrave differing from rest of windows. Single-storey extension was used as a shop but now part of the house. Former entrance in end gable wall, now window, has reused lintel inscribed EX DONO ROBERT VAUX DE BROWNRIGG ANNO DOMINI, 1688, from the demolished school in the churchyard. The 2 inscriptions to different owners in 1690 seem to indicate that the house was built at an earlier C17 date by the Vaux family (of Brownrigg) and the date was added to that inscription by the Addisons.
