Description
The ruins of the old Hewell Grange are the remains of a country house built in 1712, possibly designed by Francis Smith. The house was remodeled in 1815 by Thomas Cundy and partially demolished in 1889. It features sandstone ashlar and some brick. The main front, which faces north, still stands, along with parts of the other walls. The north front includes a large portico with a pediment displaying the Plymouth arms, supported by six Corinthian columns, four of which are at the front. This portico is an addition by Cundy to a facade that originally had two windows on each side and five in the center, with divisions marked by Doric pilasters. The windows are adorned with moulded architraves and a cornice. The house became roofless due to a firework display held in honor of the Shah of Persia in July 1889. The estate was set in grounds designed by Humphry Repton, which were altered when the new house was constructed.
