Description

The Jacobean Wing (east) and Victorian Wing (north) of Rawdon House, dating from around 1630 to 1650, were extended and restored in 1879 by Ernest George and Peto. The building features red brick with stone dressings and roofs made of machine and terracotta tiles, arranged in an L-plan. The Jacobean Wing consists of five bays and three storeys. It has a square porch with a rusticated ground floor supported by detached Doric columns on pedestals, while the upper floor is brick with Ionic columns. There are canted two-storey window bays on each side, featuring mullioned and transomed casements, crenellation, and a continuous entablature. The shaped gables at the attic level include a raised and pedimented centre gable with a terracotta date plaque, and there are imitation Tudor chimney stacks. The roughcast rear elevation has a full-height, square, central staircase tower, Tudor hood moulds, and an arch-headed door with a scrolled date plaque. A reused panelled oak door is present, along with large consoles on diagonal ground floor buttresses and canted window bays on each side.

The interior has been much restored and features a 19th-century staircase adorned with carved beasts on the newel posts and figured strapwork panels. There is a good Ionic doorcase on the first floor landing with strapwork pilasters and pedestals, along with strapwork plaster ceilings on the ground and first floors. A Jacobean revival fireplace is located in the entrance hall.

The Victorian Wing has a four-window, two and a half storey, south-facing elevation. It includes a wide rusticated carriage arch with detached Doric columns, two shaped gables, and a two-storey, crenellated, canted window to the east of the arch. There is a lamp mounted on wrought iron brackets and a continuous entablature. The north elevation features four gabled dormers with imitation Jacobean strapwork.
