stucco, roof of artificial slate. Some seven storeys of

off-centre hexastyle portico with stuccoed Ionic columns,
plain entablature, and pediment. To the left of the portico, a
tower with flat-arched entrance at the base with eared
architrave and cornice on consoles; a cornice runs across the
tower from the portico, and above it there is a circular
window, now with no dressings, flanked by piers; then the open
stage of the tower, square in plan, with paired Ionic antae at
the corners, entablature, coped parapet and antefixae. To the
right of the portico is an answering bay altered on the ground
