Description
Stukeley House is a mid-18th century house of two storeys and attics, built of ashlar. It stands on Barn Hill, Stamford. The house has a Mansard roof covered in stone slates, with three cambered dormers. It features three windows to the front, with a distinctive treatment; the outer windows have a central sash window with single side lights, all under a cambered head, with jambs consisting of small pilasters. The central window is a single light, also with a cambered head. The ground-floor windows have narrow rusticated frames, with an arch to the centre one. A projecting porch, dating from the early 19th century, is supported by two columns in the Greek Doric style. The front door is of six panels, with two glazed panels, reeded mouldings and a small segmental glazed fanlight, approached by three steps with an inset foot scraper. It is believed that this house was the residence of William Stukeley, the antiquary and Vicar of All Saints, Stamford. The site is said to have been the location of an earlier house from which Charles I escaped in disguise in 1646. The house was designed by George Portwood, Stamford's leading architect, in 1741. It forms a group with garage premises at No. 9A, numbers 9 and 10, the Sunday School, and numbers 12 to 17 (consecutively), together with numbers 1 to 8 (consecutively), All Saints' Place.
