Description
The pavilion at the southwest corner of the forecourt at Newbold Verdon Hall is a former pavilion block that has been converted into a farm building. It dates from around 1700, with alterations made in the 19th century. Constructed of red brick, it features a plain tile hipped roof and is nearly identical and symmetrical to the northwest pavilion in the forecourt of Newbold Verdon Hall. Originally, it was a tall two-storey structure, except for a two-storey bay at the north end, but it is now two storeys throughout due to the insertion of a 19th-century floor, which also created a floored loft in the roof space.
The north and south walls each have two large high-level windows, while the east and west walls contain three similar windows, all with rubbed brick flat arches, though many are now wholly or partly blocked with brick. The north wall includes a 19th-century cart entry with a segmental arch that cuts into the lower courses of the blocked windows above. The south wall features a pair of inserted, now blocked, windows with timber lintels on each floor, along with a window on either side of a central chimney breast that partly survives on both floors. At the south end of the west wall, there is an original doorway framed with reused early 17th-century moulded jamb and lintel stones, which is now blocked, as well as another blocked inserted doorway in the center of the wall.
Internally, the building consists of four bays with evidence of a brick cross partition under the north truss, which once separated the two-storey north bay. There is also evidence of original stairs leading to the loft. Other trusses display stop-chamfered principals exposed below the ceiling and cambered collars within the loft. This pavilion is part of an important group with the main house and other pavilions in the forecourt.
