8/22 Lady Dorothy's Cottage
II
School now house. Dated 1755 with later alterations and additions. Perhaps
by William Baker. Red brick with ashlar dressings; plain tile roof with
coped verges; brick integral end stacks. 2 parallel ranges aligned north-
south facing east. 2 storeys and gable-lit attic with ogee-moulded eaves
band. 2 windows, small-pane casements with bracketed pediments. Central
6-panel door with bracketed pediment and keyed fanlight with radiating glazing
bars. Single-storey, single-bay wings to left and right. Central datestone
inscribed "This school/was/erected and endowed/by/LADY DOROTHY GREY/IN THE
YEAR/1755". Rear. 2 storeys and attic with ogee-moulded eaves band and
giant corner pilasters, crenellated parapets over pilasters and stepped up
over central bay. 3 bays; central staircase window with raised keystone
and lunette over, otherwise small-pane casements with bracketed pediments.
Central 6-panel door with glazed top panels and raised keystone. Interior.
Noted as having a dog-leg staircase with turned balusters. William Baker
was at Enville in 1748 and was paid for plans in 1750; Lady Dorothy's Cottage
has stylistic affinities with Woodhouse Farmhouse (q.v.), Stoke-upon-Tern
C.P. North Shropshire District which was built by William Baker for Charles
Pigot in 1754-6. Colvin p.84.
