Description



TEWKESBURY

SO8932 BARTON STREET
859-1/6/44 (South side)
27/07/73 No.50

GV II

House, one of a pair. Probably late C16. Timber-frame,
brickwork, tile roof, brick stack.
PLAN: right-angle plan set gable to street, formerly jettied,
now underbuilt, and probably the remaining cross wing of a
hall house; the hall replaced by No.49A (qv) in the C19.
Square panel framing with arch bracing and brick nogging, the
front wall set forward from 49A by approx 0.5m.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and attic, 1-windowed to front gable. C19
two-light above 3-light transomd casements, with horizontal
bars. To the right, on 3 stone steps, a C20 door under a
light-weight timber peaked hood. The long right return wall is
rendered, with some applied framing, and with a 2-light
casement at second floor. Stack at eaves position on adjoining
ridge, shared with No.49A. The back gable wall, rebuilt in
brick has steel windows, at ground floor to segmental brick
heads. A small gabled outbuilding has a 2-light casement and a
door.
INTERIOR: details of the timber-framed end range include
framed trusses each with 2 collars, butt purlins, brick and
lath and plaster infill, with a narrow central smoke bay
containing a later brick stack and ladder stair with a door at
the bottom; first floor has a front room with C17
scratch-moulded panelling throughout, and a cornice; the front
room to the left has square panelling throughout, and a
cornice; the front room to the left has square framing, the
rear room behind has scratch-moulded panelling to one corner
with lozenges to each panel, with a dogleg stair in between;
first floor with simple early C18 column-on-vase balusters and
uncut string.
The interior has retained some good C17 features including the
panelling and the smoke bay - a rare and notable survival.
