Webster House And Railings To North

Webster House is an early 18th-century building that underwent alterations and additions in 1875-76 by the architect Richard Norman Shaw for Thomas Webster, a Royal Academician. It is situated in front of a 17th-century building and features red brick with orange dressings. The house has a broken moulded brick cornice over the ground floor and continuous bands over the first and second floors, topped by a brick-capped parapet that conceals the roof. A tall brick stack is located at the rear.

The building is three storeys high with a regular five-bay front. The first and second floors have sash windows without glazing bars, set in segment head surrounds. On the ground floor, there are two canted 19th-century bays flanking a panelled door. This door is surrounded by fluted Doric pilasters that support a full Doric entablature, which features triglyphs and metopes containing paterae. Surrounding the front enclosure are spearhead railings, which are four feet higher on a red brick plinth, with a central gateway.
