Maidenwell

Maidenwell is a building that originated in the 17th century and was enlarged and remodeled in the Cotswold style in 1914 for Lord Gainsborough. It is constructed of rubble with a Cotswold stone tile roof. The entrance front, facing east, features a two-storey mid-19th century wing with a slate roof and a tall chimney break to the right. Next to this is a two-and-a-half storey gable with a two-storey angled bay that displays the Noel Arms and the initials M.G., along with a two-light mullion window above. The south front is also two-and-a-half storeys high, featuring two gabled dormers. There are three windows on the ground floor, which include leaded casements and three and five light stone mullion types with drips. To the left of the centre, there is a doorway with a moulded Tudor arch. A large chimney with moulded capping is also present. Although the interior has been much altered, it retains one original mullion window on the back wall, which is now blocked by an extension, and stop-chamfered beams in the principal ground floor room.
