Description

The Former Wilton Parish Manse, located at 6 and 7 Mansfield Square, was built in 1847 by John and Thomas Smith. This two-storey, three-bay building features an irregular plan and is designed in a Jacobean style. It has a prominent gable with a finial, finialled gabled dormers that break the eaves, and gablehead stacks. The front and west side are constructed of squared, coursed whinstone, while the rear and east side are made of whinstone rubble, with painted ashlar dressings throughout. The building has a deep base course and an eaves cornice, with chamfered window margins on the principal south and west elevations.

The principal south elevation has a three-bay layout, featuring a four-panel central door with a rectangular fanlight set within a corniced, corbelled architrave. To the right, there is an advanced bay with a canted window on the ground floor and a hoodmoulded window above. The west elevation has two bays, with a slightly advanced stack on the right gable and a slightly projecting tripartite stone-mullioned window on the ground floor to the left, along with a dormer above. The east elevation displays irregular fenestration, including a door to the left of the advanced, gabled centre bay, a side door to the right, and an advanced, flat-roofed, single-storey wing on the outer right. The rear (north) elevation also has irregular fenestration, featuring a stone mullion for a bipartite window that turns the corner of the advanced, gabled left bay.

The windows predominantly have 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case styles, with lying-pane glazing in the timber sash and case windows of the canted window. The roof is covered in grey slate with metal ridges, and the skews are ashlar-coped with kneelers. The corniced whinstone stacks have circular clay cans, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, the manse retains some working timber-panelled shutters and cornices. There is a stone stair leading to the upper flats, featuring cast-iron balusters with a timber handrail on the landing.
