Description

Weston House is a surviving wing of a former mansion, incorporating the remaining bay of a former Roman Catholic chapel. The main section dates to the early 18th century, with additions from 1828 and later alterations. The building is constructed of coursed rubble stone with plain tile roofs.

The early 18th-century section originally comprised three bays and two storeys. A single-story addition of circa 1980 features a six-panel door and a two-light casement window. The other bays possess modern two-light casement windows with transom lights. A 18th-century door, flanked by console brackets and a hood, is likely reset. The upper floor retains three original leaded cross-casement windows. Moulded eaves are present and the tile roof is hipped to the north. The 1828 block runs parallel to the 18th-century section, featuring a two-story design with an attic. The south front displays gable stacks, French doors at ground level, and sash windows above. A rainwater head in the valley is dated 1828. The south-west front, with three bays, has ground-floor leaded-light cross casement windows and a door on the left side, with sash windows above the first floor.

The chapel bay is set back from the north-east front and has a half-hipped tile roof, incorporating a single leaded Y-tracery Gothic window.

Internally, the central and north-west rooms feature egg-and-dart and acanthus friezed box cornices. Fireplaces are characterized by dentil cornices.

Weston House represents the west wing of a larger house that was refronted and extended circa 1710. The original house dates back to the 16th century. The early 18th-century work was commissioned for Sir Robert Throckmorton, but the main portion of the mansion was demolished in 1827. The chapel was built for the Throckmortons in 1838, but was largely demolished in the 20th century.
