Blockley Court Court House And Southview And Short Wall To South West Of Court House

This building, originally Westmacott’s Mill, demonstrates origins in the 17th century, but flourished during the 18th and early 19th century silk trade. It was largely rebuilt in the mid-19th century. The Court House and Southview form two parallel mill buildings. The southern section has three storeys, while the northern section has four. The construction uses coursed and squared rubble with slate roofs. The Court House is taller and features three ranges of glazing bar sash windows. Southview has nine ranges of segment-headed casements. The Court House retains its original wooden box-porch with an elliptical-headed entrance on the right. Southview has two fire escapes, entered from the north side. A rear door, leading to the basement of the Court House, incorporates a traceried fanlight. The buildings have been converted into council houses. Westmacott’s Mill was the largest of Blockley’s twelve mills and remains the most impressive group.

A wall, approximately 8 feet high and 7 yards long, projects from the Court House to the south and west. It is constructed of coursed rubble and includes a doorway.
