9/95 Ruins of Fowelscombe 11-11-52 House
II
Ruins of large country house in formerly landscaped grounds 1537 for Sir Thomas Fowel, much extended and remodelled in gothick style in circa late C18. Not much, if any, of the C16 house remains. Slate rubble, largely stuccoed, south-west corner tower ashlar. 2 or 3 storeys. Theruins are roofless and much of the walls have collapsed, but the walls on the south-west elevation and the walls of the tower projections on the south east front are fairly complete. The Whole is much overgrown with ivy. The long south-east front has 4 projecting towers, 2 with corbelled and moulded battlements. The south-west corner tower is partly ashlar-faced and has chamfered pointed arch doorway on the right-hand return. The south-west tower is said to incorporate some of the C16 house (Peusner). Stuccoed labels to window heads. 2 or 3-storey porch on south-west end elevation with stuccoed moulded 2-centred arch doorway with label. The house is built into the hillside and behind there are terraced former gardens. The house was reputedly abandoned in 1919.
