Description


The following building shall be added:

SO 97 SW DODFORD VICTORIA ROAD

1649-/9/10001 Great Meadow

II

House. Circa 1830-40, extended later in C19 and C20. Flemish bond
red brick; English garden wall bond at sides. Welsh slate roof
with gabled ends. Brick gable end stacks with square yellow clay
pots. PLAN: 2 principal front rooms with entrance and stairhall
between and with service room in integral 2 storey outshut behind
the left hand room and an outbuilding behind the outshut. Later
in the C19 the original outshut was extended to the rear of the
right hand room and another outshut was built on the left side of
the outbuilding wing. In C20 the outbuilding was converted to
dwelling accommodation and another small outshut conservatory was
built in the angle. EXTERIOR: 2 storey. Symmetrical 3-bay north
west front. C19 12-pane sashes with flat rusticated painted stone
arches and cills. Similar arch to central doorway with flush panel
and glazed door and later C19 ornamental wooden porch with
tented roof now glazed. 2-storey outshuts at rear, lower former
outbuilding wing with outshut on outer side and small C20
conservatory in angle. INTERIOR: Most of the original joinery
remains intact including 4 panel doors, dog-leg staircase with
stick balusters, moulded newels and mahogany handrail and simple
chimneypiece and grates in chambers; ground floor chimneypieces
removed, but right-hand room has flanking cupboards.

NOTE: Recorded in deeds, it was property of Feargus O'connor
founder of the Chartist Land Company, inaugurated in 1846. It is
situated on a 4-acre plot like the 40 other Chartist houses in
Dodford and was probably incorporated into the Chartist estate,
which was intended to provide the tenants with independence and
a county vote.
