All Nations Christian College Easneye

All Nations Christian College, formerly Easneye, is a country house built between 1867 and 1868 by Alfred Waterhouse for Thomas Fowell Buxton. The building is constructed of red brick with black diapering, moulded ornamental brickwork, and red tiled roofs banded with scalloped tiles, featuring an ornamental ridge.

The asymmetrical design comprises three blocks arranged in echelon, stepping outwards and enclosing a recessed entrance into the south block. This block contains the principal rooms, arranged around a vast, beamed hall. The hall is accessed through an off-centre vestibule and a projecting gabled porch. A staircase with traceried windows occupies the northwest corner, leading to a top-lit upper hall which serves the bedrooms. The middle block houses the dining room, servants' hall, and a nursery above, and is expressed externally as part of the south block. The north block, designed for kitchens, a dairy, and staff accommodation, is of one and a half storeys with giant "lacarne" windows and gables. Each function is externally distinguished by this muscular Gothic style. Crow-stepped gables are present throughout. Windows are of two storeys and come in a three-bay design, with undivided sash windows featuring moulded brick surrounds and moulded segmental arches, all struck from a radius of 9 feet.

The main elevation, facing east, has a moulded double plinth, diaper patterned brickwork, a deep band of moulded relief lattice panels at the first floor, an impost band, equilateral arches with hoodmoulds and decorated roundels in the tympanum over the upper windows, arched and corbelled eaves, and crow-stepped gables with finials. Similar windows illuminate the attic floor. Patterned octagonal chimneys have moulded caps and bases. The projecting entrance porch has three storeys and is expanded at its base with battered buttresses to accommodate a pointed arched Gothic red terracotta doorway with segmented spiral shafts and moulded caps, similar to those found at the Natural History Museum in London (1872).

Internally, the hall features a fireplace with carved capitals and corbels in Mansfield stone, and granite-ringed shafts to the stair arcade. The dining room is panelled with a Jacobean ribbed ceiling and a red and green granite Norman chimney piece. Stained glass is found on the staircase and in the front window of the hall; this dates to 1868 and features naturalistic roundels depicting birds, bats, and butterflies. The property is of outstanding interest as an unaltered example of Waterhouse's country house work, complete with contemporary interiors. Estate buildings and design drawings also remain.
