Woolstaplers' House (formerly
listed with Woolstaplers'
Hall & Woolstaplers' Barn)
26.8.60
II* GV
House. Mediaeval core, probably C14 and C15 and related to Woolstaplers' Hall adjacent
(q.v.); present front c.1800. Ashlar with low-pitched slate roof. Chimney to left. 3
low storeys with 2 flat floor-bands; 2 windows, glazing bars sashes, tripartite on
ground floor; glazed door to far left (former through-passage); traces of earlier
openings on ground floor. Low 2-storey rear extension links with former barn
(Woolstaplers' Barn q.v.) now in part incorporated into the house. Interior: quite
extensive of mediaeval fabric including 2 C15 doorways in South wall and mediaeval
stud partition on first floor, moulded rear doorway in part survives. The evidence
suggests that this house may have been the hall of a larger property incorporating
Woolstaplers' Hall (q.v.) as the solar wing and (site of) Symes House adjacent to South
(q.v.) as service end; that Symes House and Woolstaplers' House were joined in the C18
at least is suggested by the barn at rear (q.v. Woolstaplers' Barn) now shared by both
houses. Grevel House opposite has a somewhat similar plan and may have provided the
model or stimulus for this one. Graded II* on account of this and on account of the
connection with C R Ashbee, the founder of the influential Guild of Handicrafts, who
made this part of his home when he lived at Campden between 1902 and 1919.
