Whitehaugh

Whitehaugh House, 1745, 1838-40, W & J Smith additions and reconstruction. The Smiths did their best for Col J J F Leith

but the articulation of their wings and heavy columned porch with the earlier spare Georgian box is achieved with some grinding of the gears, despite the strict adherence to symmetry. The original two-storey-and-basement, seven-window ashlar block with advanced and pedimented central part rather lurks behind the Smiths' over-large Doric portico. Their wings are one-window, single-storey-and-basement, with neat pediments echoing the central block. The single-storey

north wing has columned and glazed square bay. Nevertheless an honourable endeavour. Neo-Tudor chapel nearby.
