St George'S

TM 48 SW WESTHALL MILL COMMON

3/47 St. George's - - II

House. C16 and early C17. 2 storeys and attics; L-shaped form: main range and cross-wing. Timber-framed and rendered with the ground floor of the wing in whitewashed brick; plaintiles. The main range has an internal chimney- stack with a plain red brick shaft, and a later red brick gable end with chimney-stack. A brick lean-to extension behind the wing. Various casement windows: on the rear wall, 2 with old diamond-leaded panes and 2 with square- leaded panes. One ovolo-moulded mullioned window by the stack in the main range, and in the upper part of the cross-wing gable a window with ovolo- moulded mullions and small side-lights. There is evidence for other similar windows on the ground floor. A slight difference in date between the 2 ranges, the cross-wing, which has been shortened, being the earlier: on the ground floor, ovolo-moulded main beams and joists, curved stops with jewel, and a moulded lintel to the open fireplace. In the main range, the joists are set on edge. Both ranges have similar, but not identical, side purlin roofs: the principal rafters not diminished but cut away for the insertion of clasped purlins (cf. Carmel, Rumburgh Street). A lower row of unstepped butt purlins, windbraces, and intermediate collars between the trusses.
