The Chantry

The Chantry is a house, now divided into tenements, dating to the early 18th century with substantial alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. An inscription on the east front indicates it was originally "The Fowlking House" built in 1702 by W.A., and later enlarged in 1869 by the 4th Lord Lyttelton. It was restored in 1952 and 1967 by Archer Clive. The building is constructed of squared and coursed sandstone rubble, with ashlar dressings, and has a hipped tiled roof, with brick chimney shafts. It has a rectangular plan, originally featuring a central entrance on the west front and a stair turret. The building is two storeys high with attics.

The west front has a string course and a coved cornice, with three 19th-century gabled dormers containing 20th-century windows. There are five glazing bar sash windows with flat arches. A central doorway has a segmental pediment and a bolection moulded surround, and there are 20th-century French casements.

Inside, the building has been extensively altered, but retains a contemporary framed newel staircase, with turned balusters and moulded strings and rails.
