Description



GLOUCESTER

SO8318NW CATHEDRAL PRECINCTS
844-1/8/53 Palace Cottage (The King's School)

GV II

The coach house, stables and servant's lodgings of the former
Bishop's Palace, now independent school building of the King's
School (qv). Dated 1861 on rainwater heads, with C20
alterations. By Ewan Christian. Ashlar and squared rubble in
courses, slate roof with three bands of white slates on each
slope, decorative ridge tiles, coped gables with moulded
kneelers, two tall brick ridge stacks. In Tudor style. A long
range with the former residential accommodation in the centre
extending into a short cross-wing on the south side.
EXTERIOR: single storey and attic; coped gables with moulded
kneelers; on the north front irregular fenestration; in the
gable-end wall of the rear wing on the ground floor two
two-light stone-framed and central mullion casements and a
similar casement in the gable.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
Despite some C20 alterations, this ancillary building by
Christian makes a significant contribution to an important
group of buildings around the Cathedral Precincts.
