Scope and Content View of staircase hall in Minard Castle, Argyll and Bute In 1784 Archibald Campbell (1693-1790) had a plain Georgian house, known as Knockbuy, built. In 1842, the estate was sold to H W Askew. He employed the architect, John Thomas Rochead (1814-78), to alter and extend the house, renaming it Minard Castle. Rochead was also responsible for the interior of Minard Castle, which was even more Gothic in style than the exterior. This staircase hall is dominated by the four-centred arches carved from stone. Four-centred arches were common in Gothic architecture. They are formed from four arcs, two of which describe arcs from the springing point and two of which describe arcs below that level.
