GRAVEL HILL (South Side)
Nos 9 to 17 (odd)
GV II
Refronted timber-framed group of buildings under continuous, old tiled roof
with central gable facing street. The picturesque group is well composed for the
uphill site. Nos 9 to 11 facade colour washed plaster. No l3 timber
framing exposed with plaster in gable end and red brick nogging below
- much restored. Nos 15 and 17, colour washed brick. 2 storeys, 1 canted
bay window at bottom of group (No 9) and 2 at top end (No 17). No l3
has reproduction leaded casements rest, generally sashes with glazing
bars.
The raised pavement and wall forms part of a group with Nos 5 to 19 (odd)
the South Oxfordshire Technical College Old School and Main Buildings,
Nos 43 to 49 (odd) and the wall and gate piers to former Paradise House.
Ancastle Cottage, Nos 2 to 36 (even) and the pavement surface in front
of Nos 2 to 36 (even) opposite. Ancastle Cottage also forms a group with
the entrance walls, piers and gates and the lower lodge of Friar Park.
HISTORICAL NOTE: A research report on 9-11 Gravel Hill produced by the
Henley Historical and Archaeological Group in 2012 has brought to light new
information on this part of the range, demonstrating an earlier date than was
stated in the original List entry (then thought to date from the C17-C18 on the
basis of external inspection). Recent dendrochronological analysis of No. 13
has dated the roof structure to 1454. Inspection and recording of the
timber-framing at Nos. 9-11 has identified fabric which appears to date to the
early C15. Other parts of the range are understood to have retained
timber-framing, but these parts have not been inspected in detail.
