GV II
Formerly known as: Old Parsonage STENNER LANE Didsbury.
House, now art gallery. Probably early C19; enlarged and
altered. Roughcast on brick, slate roofs on 3 levels.
Double-depth linear plan on east-west axis, comprised of long
main range with end-bays treated as crosswings within the
rectangle, and an addition to the east end. Two storeys and 8
windows (1:4:1+2), the end bays higher. The entrance, offset
left of centre, has a wrought-iron porch with swept lead roof,
doorway with ex situ C17 oak jambs and door. The ground floor
has 3 wooden canted bay windows (all different), that at the
left end large and flat-roofed with leaded glazing, the next
5-sided with hipped slate roof and leaded glazing including
tracery, and the 3rd (to right of porch) with a hipped roof of
red tiles and glazing from ground to eaves (one light hinged),
and in the right-hand wing a tripartite casement with hooped
glazing bars: all these windows with internal shutters. The
1st floor has sashed windows with Gothic glazing bars, all
square except in the right wing and its addition. Hipped roofs
to the end bays, with projecting eaves; various tall chimneys.
Rear and interior not inspected. History: formerly the home of
Alderman Fletcher Moss, JP, local historian and connoisseur,
whose collection of water colour paintings (including many by
Turner) formed the nucleus of the gallery's collection.
