BLANCHLAND THE SQUARE Blanchland No.17 and adjacent building to west, now a wing of Lord Crewe Arms (formerly listed as House adjoining Lord Crewe Arms to S)

GV II

Terrace of 6 houses, formerly monastic building, remodelled mid-C18. Mostly rubble, with dressings; stone slate roofs. 2 storeys, 8 bays. Vertical- panelled doors to left of bay 1, between bays 2 and 3 (in raised stone surround), between bays 4 and 5, pair between bays 6 and 7, and between bays 7 and 8. Various sash windows, (some renewed) most in hollow-chamfered surrounds, some C19 and some of earlier work re-set. Bay 8 windows in C18 block surrounds. Remains of a range of 3 large windows with double hollow-chamfered jambs on 1st floor of bays 4 and 5. 5 ridge stacks (one rebuilt in brick) and right end stack; roof hipped to left. Left return shows 2 small windows, the lower with glazing bars, in C18 stone surrounds. Rear elevation shows old projecting stack, and at far right blocked 2-light window with ovolo-moulded surround. Interior much altered. No. 17 has a C17 ground floor fireplace with a flat- pointed head in a square frame; a larger arched fireplace on the floor above is now covered over. The terrace appears to be the monastic south range, much remodelled; conventionally this would have the frater at 1st floor level - the remains of large C15 (?) windows on the south suggest an important apartment here.
