Activities

Field Visit (August 1987)

COURT OF OFFICES. This comprises a single-storeyed S range with central gateway, fronting the N side of the road, and two-storeyed terminal wings, the W one extending N to flank a courtyard enclosed on the N by a separate range. The central gateway is slightly advanced, with sandstone quoins rising to the skewputts of a tall concave-sided pediment containing a circular window. Its segmental archway has impost-blocks and a projecting keystone, and is separated from the pediment by two tiers of dovecot entry-holes. Each of the single-storeyed side-ranges contains a round-arched doorway with keystone and fanlight with intersecting tracery, and has a high sandstone eaves-course. This is repeated in the end-walls of the hip-roofed flanking wings, which have advanced quoins and round-arched ground-floor windowswith intersecting tracery. The E wing contains domestic accommodation.
