The Tannery House

The Tannery House, built in 1855 for Lankester Webb, originally served as a shop and company headquarters. It features gault brick construction with a limestone band beneath the first-floor windows and a hipped slated roof with a modillioned eaves cornice. The building has three internal chimneys made of gault brick. The main elevation faces north and includes a west elevation with six windows, where the center two are slightly set forward. The windows are small pane sashes with broad moulded limestone architraves and border panes. The entrance doorway is adorned with a Roman Doric entablature in limestone, featuring a dentilled pediment and attached columns, leading to a pair of glazed panelled doors. To the right of the entrance is a two-storey flat-roofed bay window. At the rear, there is a parallel range that is likely from the 17th or 18th century, constructed with timber framing and plaster, and has a plain tiled roof along with mid-19th century small-pane sashes. There is also an altered rear service range that is partly three storeys and partly two storeys.
