G.V. II

Former pavilion block, now a farm building. c. 1700 with C19 alterations. Red brick, plain tile hipped roof. Nearly identical to and symmetrical with the NW pavilion in the forecourt of Newbold Verdon Hall. Originally a tall 2 storey block except for a 2 storey bay at the north end, but now 2 storey throughout due to inserted C19 floor, also with floored loft in roof space. North and south walls have 2 large high level windows and the east and west walls have 3 similar windows, all with rubbed brick flat arches, all now wholly or partly blocked in brick. The north wall has a C19 inserted cart entry with segmental arch cutting into the lower courses of the blocked windows above, The south wall has a pair of inserted, now blocked, windows with timber lintels to each floor, and a window to either side of a central chimney breast which partly survives within on both floors. At the south end of the west wall, an original doorway framed with reused early C17 moulded jamb and lintel stones, now blocked and another blocked inserted doorway in the centre of the wall. Internally, 4 bays with evidence of brick cross partition under north truss, which formerly separated the 2 storey north bay. Evidence of original stairs to loft. Other trusses have stopped chamfered principals exposed below ceiling and cambered collars within the loft, It forms part of an important group with the house and other pavilions in the forecourt.
