Stainton Cotes

This is a house, dating from the 17th century, with additions from the 1770s and the 19th century. It is constructed of rubble with stone slate roofs. The main south-facing front is of three bays, with the left bay slightly projecting. This bay features a five-light double chamfered stone mullion window on each floor, the ground floor window lengthened downwards. A 19th-century chamfered doorway is set into the return, with a coat of arms (ermine, in chief a lion rampart) above it. The central bay contains an eight-light window with a king mullion, also lengthened downwards, and above it are two three-light windows. To the right are five-light windows on each floor; the lower window is lengthened downwards and the upper window completely replaced. The east front has two bays with tripartite flat-faced mullion windows. One window sill is inscribed “Johannes Currer Arm: restituit A.C, 1779”. Another records a restoration in the 1960s. A large shield on the first floor displays the arms of Currer and Wilson. The west front is from the 19th century, featuring large two-light chamfered windows with hoodmoulds, as well as embattled gutters and dates of 1774 and 1777 on the rainwater hoppers. The interior has not been inspected.
