Chantry House

Chantry House, formerly known as Rockland Cottage, is a brick house dated 1756. It is situated in Church Lane, Rockland St. Mary. The building is two and a half storeys high and arranged in three bays with a roof of black glazed pantiles. A central 20th-century door is set within a segmental arch. There are two three-light 18th-century cross casements to each floor, with leaded glass. A blocked central window on the first floor is above a stone panel inscribed "God Preserve the Industrious E.S.S. 1756". The attic has two two-light casements. The windows are set under segmental arches, except for the attic windows. The building has a dentil and saw-tooth eaves cornice, below a hipped roof, with a central ridge stack. A two-storey brick lean-to outshut is located at the rear. The central door is within a fluted timber case and frieze, topped with a flat hood. The interior has two three-light 18th-century casements on each floor, with leaded glass. Those on the ground floor are set within segmental arches. Finally, a dentil eaves cornice completes the architecture.
