The School was moved from London to this site at Stammerham in 1902. Architect Sir Aston Webb. Red brick. Tudor style. The main buildings consist of 8 blocks on the north arranged in a slight convex curve, and a quadrangle in the centre, the north side of which is in line with and in the centre of these 8 blocks. Each block is H-shaped and contains 2 boarding- houses. Each block has 3 storeys and 10 windows to south front and 3 windows to inner sides of wings. Gables to the projecting wings of each block and in the centre of all 3 sides of the courtyards which they form. Balustraded parapet between the gables. Stone doorway in the centre of each courtyard with bay window over. Large 4-light windows on ground floor of south front of wings with stone pilasters between the lights. The quadrangle consists of the Dining Hall on the north, the Big School on the south and colonnaded wings on each side, of which the west one contains the Chapel. The Dining Hall has 5 large bays rising the whole height of the building, the outer ones being immense windows of 5-lights each arranged in 7 tiers with stone mullions and transoms. Four round-headed arches between the bays, each containing one 2- light window of 3 tiers. Behind the Dining Hall on the north is the tall Water Tower. The Big School at the south end of the quadrangle has 9 bays containing Perpendicular style windows, a gable end flanked by octagonal turrets and a square clock tower over the roof. On each side of the Big School is a square block joined to it by a wide rusticated arch with balustrade over. On the back or south side of the Big School, Wren's portico from the old school in Newgate Street, London was re-erected as part of the building. The east and west sides of the quadrangle have 2 storeys and 14 windows each. They have projections at each end which are joined to each other by a projecting colonnade with balustrade over. Gables above the end projections and in the centre of each side, with a statue beneath each gable. The Chapel contains panels by Sir Frank Brangwyn. These side buildings are joined to the Dining Hall on the north by colonnades with archways in the centre surmounted by gables.

Platform above this supported on diagonal struts. Upper storeys faced with weather-boarding. Pointed hexagonal cap with ball finial. Sweeps and fantail intact. Attached engine house of one storey corrugated iron on wooden frame with partially gabled and partially hipped corrugated iron roof and casement windows. Steam engine no longer present but water pump survives. Good example of a smock mill in working order and the most recent and biggest windmill in Sussex. The engine house has always been an integral part of the mill and its history and was built within months of the completion of the windmill in 1880. There are two inscriptions over a window on the second floor of the mill: Engine started January 6th 1880 and First day new engine October 20th 1880. The steam engine was important to the operation of the mill as the location was not ideal for catching the wind. The mill was bought in 1906 by the author Hilaire Belloc, who owned it until his death in 1953. The mill was worked until 1926 when the engine was disposed of. | 200004794313 | 2004-02-16 | 1959-09-22 | |||

PLAN: Roughly rectangular complex of cow sheds, milking parlours, silo towers with linking wall and open-fronted barn with attached circular dairy to the west. EXTERIOR: Dairy is a circular building of one storey of header bond brickwork surrounded by eight feet high columns, one foot high in diameter at the base and one foot six inches at the head, made of rust-coloured aggregrate and two further columns on either side to link block. Conical roof, originally thatched but replaced after the Second World War with concrete Broseley tiles, surmounted by an octagonal tiled lantern with wooden louvres.

The first floor south room has an exposed spine beam. The roof is of side purlin construction with angled queenstruts and the top of the brick chimneystack is visible in the attic. HISTORY: Two cottages at Newfoundout are shown unnamed in the Gardner and Gream map of c1795. Newfoundout East was converted into two cottages but the second stair has been removed. In the Census Returns for 1871, which is the first time the name Newfoundout is used, James Charter, widower, stone mason, is among the occupants.J Charter etc were paying £1 Land Tax on cottages from 1879 to the 1890's. The house was built on land that belonged to the owners of Denne Manor from the 1840's to the 1930's and may have been done for centuries before. | 100061819208 | 2005-09-30 | 2005-09-07 | |||

Designed in 1902 by Sir Edwin Lutyens for Ernest Blackburn's house Little Thakeham. Vernacular Revival style. It comprises two L-shaped one storey to one storey and attic ranges facing north and south. They are built of brick in Flemish bond with weatherboarded gabled and tiled roofs, half-hipped to the east and west, with brick chimneystacks. They are linked only by a central brick wall with iron gate to the west, facing the main house. EXTERIOR: The west elevation facing the main house is of a domestic character. Each range has an end one storey and attic section with weatherboarded attic and wooden ventilation aperture to the attic and a six light stone mullioned window with leaded lights below. To the centre each range has a one storey section with hipped roof and tall brick chimney, the southern range having in addition a mid C20 curved bay. The north elevation of the north range was covered by vegetation but appeared to be unaltered with no openings. The east elevation has a weatherboarded gable with plank door to original hayloft approached up a flight ofwooden external stairs. The south elevation of the north range has been painted and the eastern part has later C20 weatherboarding and double doors inserted for residential use. The western part is as built with a casement window and plank door in the one storey section together with built-in seat and triangular mounting block, then a large Diocletian window and double doors. The south elevation of the north range has four later uPVC windows, double doors and a late C20 angled conservatory. The east elevation has a late C20 window and cast iron balcony replacing original attic access by external staircase. The southern elevation has been painted but is otherwise unaltered with three large Diocletian openings, the western one also containing a door and with the same arrangement of seat and mounting block as the north range. INTERIOR: The western part of the north range has two queenpost trusses with additional arched braces. The eastern part was not seen but original rafters were reported. The one storey section to the south west had a small painted stone fireplace and could have been a tackroom originally. The southern range retained no visable original fittings but original rafters were reported and a well under part of the structure. HISTORY: The Garden House was designed in 1902 by Sir Edwin Lutyens as part of the Little Thakeham estate which also included the main house (listed grade I) and the garden (II*on the Gardens Register). Little Thakeham was designed for Ernest Blackburn, a keen amateur gardener who carried out his own planting within structures designed by Lutyens. The original Lutyens drawing shows the Garden House marked as Stables with a range of glasshouses to the south whcih are no longer present. The plan shows the two ranges joined but this was probably altered during building. The plan also shows a plan for a kitchen garden radiating out from a dipping well but the land was laid out to commercial orchards from the 1950's. In 1919 the house, gardens and grounds were sold to the Aggs family. In 1975 some alterations were carried out to the Garden House and in 1979 the main house was sold and became a country house hotel but reverted to private ownership in 2000. The northern range was at one time used as stables and coachhouse but was later used for storage and the southern range was used as an estate forge and workshop.

Mid C16 barn, the southern end adapted in the early C18 to form cow byres with attached cow byres dating from the C18 to the south west. MATERIALS: The barn is timber-framed, clad in weatherboarding on a stone rubble plinth, partly replaced in brick and concrete, except for the south wall which is of regularly coursed rubblestone blocks with red brick dressings patched with some English bond brickwork. Hipped roof with gablets at each end, carried down to a low eaves above the single aisle on the west side, clad in C20 maching made clay tiles but earlier roof tiled or more probably thatched. The cow byres are also timber framed, clad in weatherboarding with hipped tiled roofs. PLAN: Barn of five bays with a slightly shorter bay at the south end, aisled to the west. The cow byres are attached to the south end of the barn in a zig-zag formation. EXTERIOR: The west side of the barn has a central cart entrance with C20 ledged and braced double doors. The east side, which originally had the full-height cart entrance, has had this filled-in and replaced by a small C20 plank door. There is a further door to the extreme south. The north end has had a later fixed casement inserted without damaging the wall frame. The south end has a lean-to added probably in the early C18, the external wall rebuilt in regularly coursed and dressed small rubblestone blocks with red brick dressings above a rubblestone plinth. A section of this wall has later been rebuilt in English bond brickwork. INTERIOR: The barn has upright posts and aisle posts which are jowled. The wall frame to the east side has a mid-rail with three studs between the wall posts and curved braces above the mid-rail. The north end wall retains its original framing intact, apart from one replacement stud, and has a massive mid-rail with large curved braces to the corner and end aisle post. There is a centre wall post with studs morticed to the mid-rail on each side. The studwork beneath the wall-plate to the external west wall is mainly original to the north of the cart entrance but has been replaced to the south. The western aisle is supported on five aisle posts on padstones, all reused from and earlier structure, with slightly curved braces to the arcade plate. The internal south wall was modified in the early C18 when the southern end was adapted as a cow byre, but much of the original timber from this was reused, including curved braces. The roof structure has four full trusses as the southern end was truncated when it was converted into a cow byre. Each truss has curved braces from the wall-posts to the tie beams, mainly original, and all trusses except the northern one have angled queen struts to the clasped purlins. All the rafters are original. The southern cattle byre has a weatherboarded north wall with some wide planks and a wooden stall partition. SUBSIDIARY BUILDINGS: The attached cow byres to the south west have wall frames with thin scantling, partitions with diagonal braces, roof structures including angles queen-struts and some wooden hay racks survive.

The eastern part is of date circa 1600, divided into two cottages in the C18. The western part was built in the 1960's and is not of special interest. MATERIALS: The eastern part is timber framed with red brick infilling but the south end is of brick and the north end elevation is rendered with tile-hanging above. Tile roof. half-hipped to the south and gabled to the north with an end brick chimneystack to the north and catslide roof to the rear. Two storeys:six irregularly-spaced windows. PLAN: Originally a two bay end chimneystack house with a heated room on each floor, later adapted into two cottages. EXTERIOR: The east or entrance front has exposed box framing with midrail and brick infill of various periods, including C17 two inch bricks, C18 or early C19 stretcher bond briclwork and some C20 patching. Six first floor windows, comprising two early C20 casements with glazing bars to the upper part only and four 1960's bottom opening casements. The ground floor has two early C20 casements and a 1960's window and two C20 plank doors, the left hand one adapted into a window. The north side is of brickwork and the south side is rendered on the ground floor and hung with C20 tiles above with a first floor 1960's casement and plain doorcase below. The west or rear elevation has some brickwork visible in the corner, but the south end wall of the catslide has been removed to form a loggia and the remainder of this front is concealed by a large 1960's two storey western range, the link block including main entrance weatherboarded to the ground floor and weatherboarded above with roof sloping to the east with casement windows. The 1960's extension is not of special interest. INTERIOR: The ground floor of the original east wing has a northern room with an open fireplace with wooden bressumer, spice hole and a wooden gun rack. A plank door to the east probably led originally to a staircase. There is an axial beam and exposed floor joists. The upper floor retains much exposed wall frame with midair, internal partition, howled posts and a queen post roof. There were further plank doors on the upper floor. HISTORY: A circa 1600 house adapted into two cottages in the C18. Both Bulls House and Bulls Bridge House are shown on the 1891 Ordnance Survey Map. In 1959 a building called Bulls Bridge Cottages was listed grade II. In the 1960's this building which was two cottages, Nos 1 and 2 Bulls Bridge Cottages, came into one ownership, a large modern extension was built on to the west side of the cottages and the name changed to Bulls House. STATEMENT OF IMPORTANCE: A timber framed house of circa 1600 with the timber frame surviving substantially intact, and for this survival of pre-1700 fabric, the house has special architectural interest. The original plan form of a two bay end chimneystack house is readable, with open fireplace to the ground floor and heated chamber above, and the position of the plank door to the east of the fireplace indicates the position of the original staircase. Much of the frame is visible internally with further joinery details including C17 plank doors and a gun rack. The later subdivision into two cottages is shown externally by the survival of two doors on the east side. The 1960's extension is not of special interest. | 200004784053,200004784083 | 2007-01-26 | 1959-09-22 | |||

Nave and aisles built in 1876, architect John Crawley in Early Decorated style. In 1896 the aisles were raised and the sanctuary, transept chapels and a bell turret added by F A Walters in matching style. The lower part of the tower may be early C20 but the upper part was completed in 1964 with a short spire by the firm Riley & Glanfield in memory of Hilaire Belloc. MATERIALS: Built in flint with ashlar dressings and slate roof. PLAN: Six bay nave with north and south aisles, three bay sanctuary with transept chapels and south west tower with squat spire. EXTERIOR: The west end has a large traceried window with trefoil lights above, and below an ogee-arch former doorcase converted into a window in the late C20. The south west tower is of three stages, battered towards the base , with four pinnacles with p-yramidal roof, tall buttresses and a squat stone spire. The top bell stage has triple round-headed louvred openings and an arched opening with double plank doors with original ironmongery. The nave has a clerestory of trefoil-headed lancets divided into buttresses and the aisles have arched windows with trefoil-headed double lancets and mouchettes or quatrefoil lights above. The lower part of the north aisle is obscured by the link building to the Priest's House. The Sanctuary is lower with one arched window with double lancets and trefoil and quatrefoil lights above and a further window in the brick lean-to transepts. The east window is set high on the wall because of the high internal reredos. It is an arched window of trefoil-headed lights with intersecting tracery. The church is linked to the adjoining Priest's House by a one storey link block of flink with stone dressings and slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles. INTERIOR: Six bay nave with arched arcade supported on octagonal stone columns and a stone rib vaulted roof. Above the columns are carved stone angels bearing the arms of the benefactors of the church and shrine, superintended by the architect Edward Hanson. Thes incluse on one side the arms of Pope Leo XIII, Bishop James Danell, the 15th Duke of Norfolk and his wife, and the 3rd Order Dominicans; and on the other Duchess Flora, the Caryll family, the Mostyn family and the Carthusian Order. There is a wooden gallery to the west and original pews. Stained glass in the aisles includes St Nicholas and the pickled boys, attributed to Hardman; St John and St Francis, also St Dominic and the Blessed Virgin Mary attributed to the firm of Jones and Willis; and the Annunciation of French made glass. The north aisle contains a wall plaque to Jean Marie Denis, Parish Priest from 1863 until 1900 and an ogee-shaped wall monument to his sister. To the north west of hte chancel arch is a gables stone canopy with pinnacles supported on marble columns containing a late C19 painting of the Northern Italian School of the Virgin and Child, loosely based on the original Bella de consolata painting in Turin. This shrine wes here in the 1870s before the sanctuary was built. The original communion rails are not in situ but are extant. The sanctuary is of three bays, also with ribbed vaulting and has an elaborate stone and plaster French reredos depicting various scenes from the life of Our Lady, and on the top four statues of saints associated with the mission: St Bruno, St Thomas, St Aloysius and St Francis of Assisi. In the centre is a statue of Our Lady of Consolation which is a shrine. There is a pointed arched piscina and an aumbry. The east window stained glass depicts Richard of Chichester, St George, St Bruno and St Dominic. In the apex is Our Lady and the Child Jesus. This window is attributed to the firm of Lavers, Barraud and Westlake. HISTORY: West Grinstead is a particularly interesting Catholic site. Before the Reformation West Grinstead was established as a shrine in honour of Our Lady, and the Caryll family kept Catholic worship alive after the Reformation. A document of 1580 exists reporting that the minister of Shipley, John Wassher, made surprise visits to one of the Caryll family's properties, Bentons Place in Shipley, looking for Fathers Hampton and Stratford. Adjoining the Church of Our Lady of Consolation and St Francis is the Priest's House (listed Grade II) which contains an attic room used as a chapel, probably since 1630. This building was endowed as a presbytery in 1671 which may make it the oldest continuously occupied presbytery in England. After the Penal times a Frenchman, Father Jean-Marie Denis, was appointed as parish priest and the Bishop of Southwark asked him to erect a miniature French cathedral2. Funds were raised not only locally but also in France, Belgium and Holland and a church was designed by John Crawley in teh Early Decorated style. The foundation stone was laid on 29th May 1875 and the church opened on 27th June 1876. Only the nave and aisles were built and the transepts, nuns' choir, tower and spire of the original design were not realised. The aisles were raised and the sanctuary, chapels on either side of the sanctuary and a bell tourret added in 1896 by F A Walters. The tower may have been begun in the early C20 but the upper part, including a short spire, was built in 1964 to designs by Riley and Glanfield. The completion of the tower was in memory of Hilaire Belloc who died in 1953 and is buried in the church yard. SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: An elegant flint and stone exterior with an impressive stone vaulted interior worked on by three notable Catholic architects, Jogn Crawlet circa 1876, Edward Hanson, and F A Walters circa 1896. It has an intact interior with elaborate French reredos and stained glass, some French, others attributed on stylistic grounds to notable English stained glass firms. Additionally there is historic interest as West GRinstead is an important Catholic site for the continuity of worship after the Reformation through the use of a secret chapel in the attic of the adjoining Priest's House (listed Grade II). Historic interest is further strengthened by a link with author Hillaire Belloc who is buried in the church yard and in whose memory the tower was completed.

The western part is early C17, extended to the south east in the late C17 to form an L-wing and a north east extension added in the early C19. MATERIALS: The western half is timberframed, clad in brick in the late C17 except for part of the north elevation painted. The south range has a hipped roof and the western range a half-hipped roof, both clad in Horsham stone slabs. The western range has a gabled tiled roof with a cruciform brick chimneystack in the centre of the western range and a square brick chimneystack in the middle of the eastern range. The building is of two storey with an attic to the western range. There are five windows to the south side but irregular fenestration to the other sides. PLAN: The west range was originally a two bay lobby entrance house with central chimney, extended to the south east to form an L-wing with principal rooms to the south and further extended to the north east so that the building is now square in plan. EXTERIOR: The south front has a fine brick front with moulded wooden eaves cornice, stringcourse, deep plinth and five narrow 18 pane sash windows with moulded architraves. There is a central wooden double door with pedimented porch supported on Ionic columns. The west side has overhanging eaves and a first floor mullioned and transomed casement with leaded lights and a sash windon to the ground floor. The western side of the north front has exposed timber-framing with patterns of diagonal braces and painted brick infill. There are two windows on each floor, C20 casement windows The remainder of the north front has a small central gable with round-headed arch recessed entrance below and a number of small windows. The east front has C18 brickwork to the south and early C19 red brick with grey headers to the north with two twelve-pane sash windows in reveals. INTERIOR: The western part has exposed timber-framing and a winder staircase with thick turned balusters leads past two priest's hides built into the side of the chimneystack into an attic used as a secret Catholic chapel. This has exposed purlins. There is a central late C17 dogleg staircase with continuous turned balustrade and square newel-post and painted panelled hall. The first floor south side has a late C17 panelled room and an early C18 panelled room with moulded cornice and dado rail. There are two panelled doors on the ground and first floors. HISTORY: The Priest's House was originally owned by the Caryll family, local landowners and Catholic recusants. A document exists reporting that in 1580 the minister of Shipley, John Wassher, accompanied by the constable Richard Cappe, twice made surprise visits to another of the Caryll's properties, Bentons Place, looking for Catholic priests fathers Hampton and Stratford. The original part of the Priest's House, the western part, is an early C17 timberframed building and Catholic seminary priests from Rome and Douai working on the English mission were able to live here disguised as stockmen. Two priest's hides are built into the massive western chimneybreast and the attic was used as a hidden chapel. In 1671 John Caryll (the sixth of this name), gave an endowment of £600 so that the property could become a house for priests to serve not only West Grinstead but the Catholic community throughout the whole of Sussex and Hampshire. Ths endowment was in reparation for having taken the Oath of Conformity. This may be the oldest continuously occupied Catholic presbytery in England. The first priest to live here was Benedictine, Father Serenus Cressy, who had been chaplain to Queen Catherine of Braganza at the court of Charles II. At about this time the Priest's House was refronted and extended and staircase and panelling introduced. Also the old attic was reconstructed into the present secret chapel. In 1754 Edward Caryll offered an endowment of £1300 to the Fransicans to maintain a priest at West Grinstead. This was very unusual as the foundation was a mission for the people of the neighbourhood, rather than a resident chaplain for a large house, as by this time there was no resident family, the Caryll family having become impoverished by fines and taxes and had sold their property, including West Grinstead Park. The mission was in the hands of the Franciscans until 1815. After that there was a series of French emigre priests until in 1863 Father Jean-Marie Denis from Brittany was appointed priest and stayed until he died in 1900. He raised money to build a church, the adjoining Church of Our Lady of Consolation and St Francis, the foundation stone of which was raised in 1875. According to the Sussex volume of Pevsner's Buildings of England in 1925 under the floor of the attic chapel in the Priest's House were found a pewter travelling chalice of c1450 and one of c1600, used by priests in the C17. STATEMENT OF IMPORTANCE: Grade II for architectural merit for the fine late C17 brick exterior and internal fittings, but also of exceptional historic interest in the history of recusant Catholic history and worship in Penal times and as it was endowed as a presbytery in 1671 it is perhaps the earliest continuously occupied Catholic presbytery in England.

Eastern two bays of c1500, western bay of c1600, partially refronted in the last C18. MATERIALS: Timberframed with wattle and daub infill, partially refronted in brick with a gabled Horsham stone slab roof with ridge brick chimneystack betwen the central and eastern bay.Two storeys with irregular fenestration including a diamond mullioned wooden casement and casement windows with leaded lights. PLAN: Originall a two bay open hall with (possibly later) sleeping platform at one end and east end entry, extended by one bay to the west with smoke hood and west end entry. Two later doorcases inserted in south, one later blocked. EXTERIOR: The framing to the two eastern bays is of thicker scantling and has pronounced curved tension braces of c1500, but hte western bay has timbers of thinner scantling, many of them sawn timbers, with diagonal tension braces of c1600. The timber framing to the north side includes a curved brace to the central bay and plastered infill but the ground floor of the western bay has been replaced in brickwork c1800. The eastern bay has box-framing with a diagonal tension brace and an original diamond mullioned window to the upper floor. The east side is gabled with exposed framing to the upper floor and the gable with queen posts and tow curved braces to the upper floor. The corner posts have been sawn through at first floor level and under-built in Sussex bond brickwork with some grey headers. The upper floor and gable has brick infill. In the centre is a doorcase with plank door and gabled weather-hood on simple wooden brackets. The south side has exposed timber-framing to the upper floor of the eastern two bays with two curved tension braces, partly with plastered infill, partly with brick infill. The western bay and the ground floor of the eastern bay are of brickwork. There are irregular casement windows with leaded lights, the ground floor left window with cambered opening. There is a cambered opening to the western bay and a blocked opening to the eastern bay, probably dating from the conversion into almshouses. The western end has exposed timber-framing with plastered infill with diagonal braces and original doorcase in the centre. INTERIOR: The tow eastern bays have a clasped side-purlin roof with queen struts and collar and soot-blackened timbers. The eastern bay was an open hall as there is no evidence of a floor. The other bay has a north midrail with evidence of a floor, but as there is no evidence of a partition up to the top of the wallplate perhaps the floor was added later as a sleeping shelf. A pegged rail one foot below the wallplate suggests thjat this upper room was at one time lit by a window below the rail and the eaves. The brick fireplace was added c1900 for its use as a vestry. There was never any internal access between the ends of the building. The western c1600 end was always floored and its eastenr end was heated by a smoke bay constructed against the west wall of the earlier structure. This survives intact with a timber chimney with end posts, wooden bressumer and its chimney interior of wattle and daub. To the south of the smoke bay is a wooden winder staircase. The ground floor has a brick floor. The original elm first floor survives with marks which may indicate a particular carpenter's yard. There is an original clasped purlin roof, with windbraces to the west and the west gable has acollar with central strut. HISTORY: The building's position ath edge of the churchyard is indicative of a priest's house. It probably provided accommodation for a curate perfoming the duties of an absentee rector. Terriers of 1615 and 1625 record a parsonage house with barn, stable, garden and orchard suggesting that at that time (and perhaps earlier) there was a much larger building for the use of resident rectors. An article published in 1989 stated that the building was in use as a parish almshouse in c1830. In 1854 it was converted into a vestry and the eastern part is still in use for this purpose. The western bay is currently unoccupied. SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: The Priest's House is a remarkably unaltered survival of a very small two bay late medieval open hall house with Horsham slab roof, extended by one bay c1600 and later used as two almshouses. It is of more than special interest as a rare survival of a small late medieval open hall house, now uncommon because of their unsuitability for conversion, for its very rare complete smoke bay with timber and wattle and daub chimney in the c1600 addition, and as an example of a rare building type, the pre-Reformation priest's house, of which comparable examples are listed Grade II.

A house on the site was mentioned in 1339 and 1434 and the centre has the core of a late medieval stone building running north to south of which only one storey survives with early C17 timber framed 1st floor above. c.1700 the south parlour end was rebuilt with a L wing of 5 bays running eastwards and c.1920 the existing house was refaced and also extended to west and north in a Vernacular revival style of timber frame, brick and tile hanging with tiled and Horsham stone roof and brick chimneystacks. The oldest portion of the north entrance front is the central gabled section of which the ground floor is C14 of standstone with large stone quoins and the 1st floor and attics early C17 timberframing, clad in C20 tile hanging. Tiled roof with large brick chimneystacks. C20 mullioned windows. To the north east is an c.1920 extension of 2 storeys and attics, timberframed with curved braces and brick infilling with projecting hipped gable to extreme east of red brick with tile hanging above and external brick chimneystack. This wing is entirely roofed in Horsham stone slabs. 4 C20 mullioned windows and deep gabled porch of timber framing, rick and tiled roof set against the C14 range. To the north west of the C14 range is a service wing, with projecting gable to the centre of red brick with the tile hung 1st floor, tiled roof with 3 clustered brick stacks and wooden mullioned windows, attached to the service wing is an early C20 wall and elaborate brick gatepiers with Horsham Stone cornice, pyramidal caps and ball finials. East front has c.1920 red brick ground floor and tile hanging above with Horsham slab roof to right and c.1920 red brick to left with hipped tiled roof. South or garden front comprises an east side, the c1700 5 bay parlour range refaced and refenestrated c.1920 when 2 further bays were added to the east. Red brick in Flemish bond with tiled roof and C20 panelled brick chimneystack. 2 storeys and attics; 7 windows. Windows are early C20 wooden cross mullions with leaded lights and handmade iron hinges. 2 hipped dormers with similar windows. Central C20 brick and timber framed porch. Attached at the extreme east is a C20 brick and tiled wood shed. To the west of the C18 wing is the c.1920 service wing, the ground of red brick, the 1st floor partly tile hung, partly timber framed with central projecting gable with bargeboards and pendants, mullioned windows and recessed feature of Wealden derivation. The west return has a large gable with curved tiles to attic and projecting tile hung 1st floor over brick ground floor with 1 storey brick projecting game larder. Interior retains 2 C14 arched doorways at each end of the cross passage retaining the bolt holes and the easternmost one retaining the original oak plank door with original studs. The ground floor hall has an inserted early C17 ceiling with roll-moulded axial beam with triangular stops, chamfered cross beam with lambs tongue stops and chamfered floor joists with lambs tongue stops. Large chamfered early C17 oak chimney beam with rush light marks and indentation made by iron crane with opening for bread oven to left and 2 salt niches. 1st floor above C14 range is of early C17 timber framing with jowled posts midrail and curved tension braces. There are 2 large chambers, the southernmost with blocked arched doorcase with plain spandrels and rush light marks. Roof to this wing is of queenpost type with through purlins, collar beam, curved windbraces and original rafters. C18 parlour wing to south east has mainly been reworked internally but retains its roof of staggered purlins and 2 original 3 plank doors. The parlour has an early C20 fireplace and the Dining Room has Queen Anne style C20 oak panelling and stone fireplace of Jacobean type. The former music room to the east and early C20 addition has a bolection moulded fireplace flanked by 2 round-headed niches and panelling. When the house was extended c.1920, the staircase was moved from the centre of the C18 wing to the north east and a large well staircase in Jacobean style inserted utilising the former outside wall of early C17 date as a gallery and adding Jacobean plank and mustin type panelling on the ground floor. Billiard room to north east has c.1920 fireplace with wooden surround and curved brick hood. Series of c1920 fireplaces to bedrooms and bathroom fittings of the period. Service wing retains bell system and game and meat larders. Because of the proximity of the house to the Parish church the C14 building may have been in ecclesiastical use. In 1723 there was recorded a hall, 2 parlours and at least 4 chambers, besides offices. A moated site (see V.C.H. Vol V1, part 3) The C.C.A. mentions a crown post roof to the north west but this was not visible at time of inspection. | 100061800932 | 2004-02-16 | 1991-04-15 | |||

Late C16 or early C17 with ground floor under-built in the late C18 or C19. The attached one storey, brick, former late-C19 stable range, partly in the same ownership and partly in the ownership of Barn Cottage is not of special interest. MATERIALS: Brick ground floor and timber-framed upper floor with brick infilling and half-hipped renewed tiled roof. PLAN: Rectangular building of four bays. EXTERIOR: The north eastern side has exposed square framing to the first floor, including a curved brace to the southern end, infilled with stretcher bond brickwork and the ground floor has two eight-pane early C20 fixed pane casements. The north western end has exposed framing to the upper part and a left side wooden casement window in pegged architrave with C19 brick lean-to on the ground floor. The south east end has the upper timber-framed part clad in wooden weatherboarding with a wooden loading door and the ground floor has been under-built in red brick in stretched bond with a C19 wooden casement window and plank door. The south western side has stretcher bond brickwork to the southern end, early C20 folding wooden doors for its use as a garega and the ends of the rafter feet are visible. The first floor timber-framing of this side is visible internally. INTERIOR: The ground floor has a reinforced steel joist to the large openings and wooden tie beams, some renewed. Some lath and plaster is visible to the ceiling of the southern bay. A C20 wooden staircase leads to the upper floor. The wall frame has mainly jowled late C16 or early C17 jowled corner posts but one upright post has an C18 curved profile. The wall frame was visible on three sides and part of the south western side. The remainder of this side appeared to be present but was concealed by equipment. The roof has queenposts with carpenters' marks and angled ties from the collar beams to the purlins. The rafters were intact, except for four which had been cut through, some were reused and there was a ridgepiece. There was a weatherboarded part partition halfway along and three square grain bins with wide horizontal boarding. The south western end retained the remains of a wooden hoist mechanism. HISTORY: A freestanding building on this site is shown on the first edition Ordnance survey map. By the time of the 1904 revision an L-wing is shown attached to the south east. The L-wing was built as stables but in the early C20 the earlier north range ground floor was adapted for garaging, probably for Henfield Lodge. It has most recently been used for storage. STATEMENT OF IMPORTANCE: The northern range of the outbuilding to South Kentwyns was a four bay timberframed agricultural building, probably a barn, the wall frame dating from the late C16 or early C17. At a later stage the ground floor was under-built in brick and in the early C20 trhe ground floor was adapted to form a garage but the upper floor is unaltered and retains grain bins from an earlier agricultural or stabling use. The building demonstrates special interest by retaining a significant proportion of its original fabric and aditionally has group value with a listed farmhouse, Kentons Farmhouse, to which it originally belonged. | 010013787835,100061800908 | 2007-04-11 | 1980-05-09 | |||

Some of the panels have modern brick or Horsham stone infill, however, several panels, especially on the second-storey appear to retain the original lath and plaster infill. It is roofed in clay tiles and has two chimneystacks, the original north-eastern of Horsham stone and older brick and the newer C20 south-western one of brick. The irregularly-spaced windows are C20 wooden casements. PLAN: Originally a two-bay house of two storeys, currently with one room to the ground floor and with three unequally sized rooms to the first floor. The original entrance was probably a lobby entrance to the west of the chimneystack, with a secondary entrance in the southern side elevation. The current access is in the outshot to the south-west of the original structure. The original plan was modified in the C20. There is a modern single storey garage on the north-western end of the property, and a mid-C20 two-storey extension, with catslide roof on the south-eastern end of the original building. The latter incorporates a secondary fireplace with a corresponding brick built chimney. EXTERIOR: The front, western, elevation has been re-clad in brick and clay peg tile, however, internal inspection would suggest that the timber framing survives in some areas within the elevation, particularly at first floor level. On this elevation, windows withing the original cottage are one per bay per storey, with an additional window in the offshoot above the newly created entrance doorway. The windows to the first-floor have been raised and now sit across the wall plate with hipped dormers partially beneath the eaves. All windows within this elevation, like those to the other elevations, are of the same C20 wooden casement construction. On the rear, eastern elevation the timber framing can be seen externally. Generally, the framing is in square panels, suggesting an early C17 date, with three panels to each bay width, and with each storey being two panels high, thus the cottage is four panels high in total. The end panels to the first floor both have curved tension braces, although that to the southern bay appears to have been replaced as it now only spans the lower panel and the infill has been replaced in brick. The window openings to this elevation have been modified throughout the history of the cottage. With the exception of the French-doors, all openings respect the timber frame and sit wholly within the original panels. The windows within the outshot are larger and break across the faux panel structure. The main post of the rear central truss appears to have been reused, as there are three mortice holes on the exterior surface of the post, in positions, which even if there was formally a rear extension to the building, would not be expected. The side elevations have been obscured by C20 outshoot extensions and a garage. INTERIOR: The oak timber frame is visible internally. The back, eastern, wall retains much of the frame with some curved downbraces and corner and central posts to the first floor. The original front, western, ground floor has been mostly removed but elements of the wall frame can be seen at first floor level. The roof is of queen post structure, a significant proportion of which survives. A number of the rafters and purlins have been replaced but the original principal beams are evident in a number of areas. Much of the C18 sturwork to the first floor also survives. In addition to the exposed timber framing, the features of interest internally are the fireplaces. The ground-floor inglenook fireplace contains a bread-oven to the east and a small window to the west. The retention of the bread-oven is an unusual feature of a cottage of this type and is therefore of significant interest. The fireplace to the first floor is also of interest, as cottages of this size and date would often only be heated at ground-floor level. The principal beams show evidence of shallow chamfers. However only one beam (of the central cross frame) had a visible chamfer stop. HISTORY: The building appears to be part of the original settlement of Rowhook. There are two other listed buildings that form the core of the settlement in the immediate vicinity of the cottage, including the late C16 Chequers Inn (Grade II), immediately opposite, and the C16 Chequered Oak House (Grade II) to the north. There may be an even earlier settlement at Rowhook as the course of 'Stane Street', a Roman road, runs close to the site. The central section of Talbot Cottage, as seen today, is shown on the Ordnance Survey maps from 1871 onwards. The 1912 Ordnance Survey map shows an additional building abutting the southern end of the cottage but this has since been removed, and a small extension added to the cottage. REASONS FOR DESIGNATION: Talbot Cottage, Rowhook is designated Grade II for the following principal reasons: In origin Talbot Cottage is an early C17 two-bay timber-framed cottage with end chimneystack. It remains substantially intact with a significant amount of surviving original fabric. The timber frame survives sufficiently to describe the plan and development of the building. It has good group value with the Chequers Inn and Chequered Oak House. | 200004794339 | 2009-06-02 | 2009-05-29 | |||

Pegtiled roof, hipped to the east, gabled to the west and with catslide to the rear and external brick chimneystack with English bond brickwork to the west. A smaller external chimneystack in the outshot is C20. PLAN: A two-bay end-chimneystack cottage with two unuqual-sized bays, staircase at the north eastern end and rear outshot. EXTERIOR: The south front has two irregularly-spaced C20 metal-framed casements and no doorcase survives on this side. The north side has two C19 wooden casements and an early C20 plank door. INTERIOR: Access is currently through the rear outshot into the kitchen which has a built-in early C20 wooden dresser and 1950's fittings. There is a small bathroom at the eastern end of the outshot. The western ground floor room is the larger heated room. It contains a large open fireplace with chamfered wooden bressumer with run-out stops and added plateshelf. The brickwork behind has been renewed but on the north side is a domed brick bread oven. The ceiling beams are rough hewn and of thin scantling, with a pronounced list to the west, and there is an original internal partition with a plank door leading into the western room. This has similar ceiling beams but is unheated and has a plank door with pintle hinges to a cupboard space under the stairs. The staircase at the north east end has an original timber framed partition with wide boards. On the upper floor the frame is visible on the north, east and west sides. The wall plate is visible on the south wall. An original partition divides the two rooms with jowled posts and angled queen struts. There are three plank doors. The upper part of the outshot has rough beams, purlin, angled queen struts and some wide floorboards. HISTORY: From its position on the edge of Horsebridge Common this cottage appears to be a commons encroachment. The earliest known document describing this cottage is dated 1732, signed and sealed by the Duke of Norfolk, indicating that is was owned by the Norfolk estate at that time. The cottage is shown on the First Edition Ordnance Map of 1875 with a long and narrow outbuilding attached to the west. This profile remained unchanged on the 1897 map. On the 1911 Ordnance Survey map the property is identified by its current name. One explanation of the unusual name is the cottage's occupation during the mid C19 by a Dutch engineer involved in improving the navigation and wharfage on the nearby River Adur, who named it after his home town. An alternative theory is that is could have been named after a battle in which an occupant of the cottage took part. The first battle of Bergen-Op-Zoom took place during the French Revolutionary Wars on the 19th September 1799 when the French won, closely followed by the second battle on 2nd October 1799 when the British and Russians were the victors. The current outbuilding to the west replaced an earlier outbuilding and is of C20 date. The building had remained in the same ownership since the 1950's up to the date of inspection in 2008. REASONS FOR DESIGNATION: Bergen-Op-Zoom is designated at Grade II for the following reasons: The plan form of two-bay end-chimneystack cottage with unequal sized rooms and rear outshot is intact. . It is a good example of a common encroachment cottage. . A significant amount of original fabric survives, including timber-frame with midrail and curved braces to the north, east and west walls, internal partitions and original brickwork to the chimneystack. . The exterior is substantially intact, apart from the replacement of windows and the blocking of the doorcase on the south side. The Interior is unusually unchanged with open fireplace still retaining its bread oven and a series of plank doors. | 200004782471 | 2009-06-22 | 2009-06-18 | |||

It is aisled to the south and west and has a large opening to the north. The plinth is buttressed on its southern side and is partly rendered here too; in places the mortar is galletted. The north and east sides, where there is no aisle, have brick walls above the plinth, weather-boarded to the east. INTERIOR: Queen post roof of five bays with trenched purlins. The easternmost truss is not a queen post, but has diagonal struts instead and no collar. There are a number of original carpenter's marks on the principal members. Timber posts with diagonal struts (some on original plinths, others on concrete) form the aisle; those at the western end have jowls and suggest an C18 date for the barn. There are also curved braces in the north wall. The two extensions to the north of the barn date to the mid C19 (that to the west) and the 1960s (to the east); a C20 light-weight shelter abuts the barn to the south. Many of the rafters are likely to date to the same phase as the earlier extension, in the mid-C19, and the tile roof covering appears to be interwar. The barn floor is concrete and late C20. HISTORY: The barn, which forms part of the farm complex alongside Hill Farm (a Grade II listed C17 farmhouse) appears on one of the drawings compiled by the Ordnance Survey in 1806-7 and is C18 in original. The range abutting the north of the barn, at its western end, is likely to be an extension (the plinth of the main barn is unbroken here), probably of the mid-C19. It may have been introduced to house machinery, as agricultural practices became increasingly mechanised in the C19. Later alterations include a single storey extension to the north of the mid-C20. REASONS FOR DESIGNATION: Hill Farm Barn is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons: . A mid-late C18 one-aisled barn with surviving principal elements of the timber-frame; . A C19 phase in good quality brickwork which suggests the changes in agricultural practice brought by mechanisation; . Situated close to the Grade II listed C17 farmhouse for which it was originally built, with which it has group value. | 010013789674 | 2009-12-07 | 2009-12-02 | |||
| LB/0015 | House, C16 open hall house, with end chimneystack added and open hall floored over in the C17. The ground floor was underbuilt in brick in the C18. Circa 1900 a lean-to addition was added to the north, the western roof hip replaced by a half hip, tile-hanging added to the first floor and the windows replaced. A northern outshot was added in the C20. The northern and western outshots are of lesser interest. | 1393018 | MULTIPOLYGON (((-0.483777 51.003197,-0.483774 51.003145,-0.483670 51.003148,-0.483676 51.003243,-0.483741 51.003241,-0.483739 51.003198,-0.483777 51.003197))) | MATERIALS: Timberframed, underbuilt in brick with tile-hung first floor, and tiled roof with end brick and stone chimneystack. PLAN: Originally a two bay open hall with south chamber, modified to form a two bay end chimneystack house with later outshots added to west and north. Two storeys: two windows. EXTERIOR: The east or entrance front has a Sussex bond brick ground floor with some vitrified headers, and the tile-hung first floor with two bands each of two courses of brown curved tiles. There are two wooden C19 tripartite casements to each floor, and at the northern end is a wide C18 ledged plank door set in a pegged architrave. The north end gable hase exposed queenposts, tiebeam and collar beam. The collar beam has been interrupted by the later insertion of the brick and sandstone fabric of the end chimneystack. The lower part of the wall is concealed by a C20 lean-to weatherboarded outshot. The south end is mainly of Sussex bond brickwork, but the half hip and the easternmost section of the first floor are tile-hung.. The west side has some timberframing exposed at the northern end with corner post, midrail and two curver braces visible. Some infilling is lime plastered, possibly over wattle and daub, the rest is brick infill over a brick ground floor. Most of this elevation is obscured by a brick stretcher bond extension of circa 1900 with two casement windows. It has cambered entrance to the south and a blocked entrance to the north. Attached to the cottage on all sides is a brick path abutting the base of the walls, which is shown on the 1876 Ordnance Survey map. INTERIOR: The north ground floor room has a C17 open fireplace on the north wall with wooden bressumer and two spice holes. To the east of the fireplace is an alcove with wooden latched three plank door with butterfly hinges. The western side has a more recent plank door and was probably the site of the breadoven. The axial beam has a deep three inch chamfer with stepped ogee chamfer stop and incised witches' marks to avert evil. This beam is the original C16 beam supporting the chamber partition above the open hall but the partition below it, of three sections of box frame with a midrail, was inserted in the C17, together with the ceiling of square joists, when the building was converted from an open hall to an end-chimneystack house. The south ground floor room contains the reverse side of the axial beam and partition, which has a plinth on this side. There are square section ceiling beams. On the south side of the room is a latched plank door opening to a very steep ladder staircase place sideways along the south wall. The circa 1900 western outshot, containing kitchen and bathroom, has no features of special interest. The south chamber, originally the only first floor room, contains wide rebated oak floorboards. The cornerposts and wallplates are visible and the east wall has a curved tension brace and the shutter groove to an original window opening, originally of two diamond mullions, later replaced by a larger window. Some studs are exposed in the west wall and the original C16 partition wall between chamber and open hall survives to the north with curver tension braces. The north chamber, originally open to the roof, has later floorboards. The inserted tie beam in front of the chimney is a reused timber of C15 or earlier date. When the chimney was inserted at the north end this room appears to have been unheated. There are alcoves either side of the chimneystack with old floorboards in the eastern alcove and a latched two plank cupboard door to the west with old hinges. Two queenpost roof trusses are visible. The roof space is reported to have clasped chamfered side purlins with collars and smoke-blackened rafters HISTORY: The first mention of the property is in the 1827 Poor Tax as Nobscrook, although it may have been associated with the landholding known as Durhams or Durromots which is mentioned in records as far back as 1530. In 1837 the probate of the will of William Hard mentions a house and garden called Nobscrook to be sold and the money to be divided amongst the family in equal shares. In the 1841, 1851, 1861 and 1871 Census returns Edward Hard, agricultural labourer and his family are living at Nobs Crook. In the 1881 and 1891 Census Returns Sarah Hards, widow of a son of Edward Hard, and her sons are living at Knobs Crook. Between 1916 and 1935 the property was occupied by Harry Palmer and family. He worked for Colonel Elmes of Lee Place, Pulborough. In 1945 the sales particulars of Lees Place Estate included Knobs Crook Cottage. Since 1951 the property heeb in the ownership of the same family. The building is shown on the 1876 and 1897 Ordnance Survey maps with a rectangular plan surrounded by trees and approached by a footpath to the north east. By the 1911 Ordnance Survey map the plan is L-shaped with an extension to the south west. SOURCES: Joesph Thompson A conservation Report on the Structural TTimbers of Knobs Crook, Adversane.... Unpublished survey of November 2006. REASONS FOR DESIGNATION: : Knobs Crook dates from the C16 and a significant proportion of the original timber frame survives, including the first floor frame, first floor partition and roof structure with smoke-blackened rafters. : Additional features of interest are the C17 brick and stone chimneystack, ground floor partition and ceiling beams. : The original C16 plan form of a two bay open hall with a single first floor chamber is still readable although it was adapted in the C17 to form a two bay end-chimneystack house with one heated room. : Interior features of interest include an open fireplace, a rare ladder staircase, original floorboards and several C18 plank doors. : The witches' marks inscribed on the axial beam to avert evil are evidence of the survival of early superstitious beliefs and practices. | 010003088204 | 2008-02-29 | 2008-02-28 | |||

Later C16 to early C17, extended at the rear by mid C19. It was probably part of a C19 estate, which may be inferred by similar local exterior cladding and detail, some of which was removed when it was refurbished late C20. MATERIALS: Timber-framed, the former rear wall and cladding surviving internally. The ground floor is soft red grey,and buff brick mostly in flemish bond, restored and partly replaced late C20. The upper floors are tile hung, (formerly described in the previous list entry as roughcast). Roofs are Horsham stone slab except for the rear, east face of the main roof and the rear single storey lean-to, which are plain tiled. A brick stack. The windows are metal-framed mid C19 casement windows with lozenge lights, restored circa 2007; metal-framed small pane mid-C20 Crittal windows; and late C20 timber casements. PLAN: L-plan, two storeys and attics, and a cellar under the southern half of the main wing. The main two-cell wing runs north - south with a central axial stack of slender T-plan. An added unheated twostorey, single-cell cross wing extends to the west. Central to the rear east elevation, behind the stack, is a gableted stair bay, enclosed by and altered by the addition of a full width single storey lean-to. EXTERIOR: The ground floor is clad in red, buff and grey brick, except for the south elecvation which is in replaced red brick. The upper floors are tile hung with a slightly splayed base. The entrance under a rebuilt gabled brick and tile-hung porch has a C20 four-panelled door. Flanking it are two-light and three-light plain metal casements. The first floor of the main wing has a plain two-light casement; the cross wing has three-light and single-light lozenge pattern metal casements. The west gable has plain three-light and two-light casements. The south gable has three-light lozenge pattern casements to ground and first floor, and a plain two-light casement to the upper floor. The north elevation has two-light and three-light metal casements on the ground floor between a blocked doorway. The lean-to has a framed boarded door. First floor and upper floor windows are single and two-light and three metal casements. The rear lean-to is of brick, painted with later C20 timber small-paned casements. A rebuilt gabled entrance with a vertically boarded door is opposite the internal door. A small weatherboarded gablet with a scalloped skirt and plain bargeboards has a single-light, lozenge paned window. Roofs are plain-tiled. The axial stack has plain brick bands and collars. INTERIOR: The stacjk has a large rendered opening on the north face under a bressumer with runout chamfers. The smaller southern opening is of brick, restored. Spinal and transverse beams are stop chamfered. The cross wing transverse beams and joists are slighter, with stop chamfers. The formerly external, rear ground floor wall, complete with its infill, is preserved within the roof space of the lean-to. The stairbay behing the stack has a blocked two-light window to the north, and extends under a gablet above the roofline. The stair is C20 dog-leg stair with square newels and balusters. The first floor frame with a mid rail is exposed on most elevations. Spinal beams in both wings have notched stop chamfers, those in the cross wing are of slighter scantling. There is cut-moulded timber in the west face of the partition between the cross wing and the main wing, possible part of a window frame with shutter housing, and a horizontal moulded section in the first floor corrider. The closet over the entrance has a door of broad vertical boards and strap hinges, rehung. The upper floors have broad floorboards. There is an added cellar beneath the southern half of the main wing. HISTORY: The house is a good example of a typical later C16 West Sussex faermhouse, with the added interest of surviving external features and material which are protected by later additions. C19 metal framed ornamental windows and external applied timber decoration (removed C1990) are similar to neighbouring houses, suggesting it was part of an estate during the mid C19. The house was semiderelict when sold off from the farm and refurbished during the 1990s. The farm buildings have been demolished or converted to residential use. The garden to the rear of the house was occupied by a barn to the north and outbuildings to the south set round a small yard. REASONS FOR DESIGNATION: Hawkesbourne Farmhouse is listed Grade II for the following principal reasons: The survival of its plan and fabric clearly meet the criteria for designation for a substantial later C16 to early C17 farmhouse. It is typical of its type but additionally retains some good surviving material and detail. Despite the dispersal of the farm, the building has survived relatively unaltered. | 100061820061 | 2004-02-16 | 1980-11-28 | |||

The first floor has been re-clad in clay peg tile, and the ground floor has been rendered on all elevations. The roof is of oak and chestnut timbers in pegged, close coupled rafters with clasped purlins and collars. The roof is covered in clay peg tiles and has two brick chimneystacks. Generally, the windows are C20 wooden casements lacking character. PLAN: Originally a three-bay two-storey cottage, it currently comprises two parallel ranges, each of three bays. The original entrance was a lobby entrance to the east of the chimneystack. There are secondary entrances in the western and northern elevations. The original plan was modified in the mid C18 and C20. Building analysis would suggest that the original cottage was extended by the addition of a second identical range to the rear, creating a three-bay by two-bay property in the mid C18, all under a pitched 'M' shaped roof. This extension incorporated a secondary fireplace with a corresponding brick built chimney. In the 1930s the western range was further modified, and extended by approximately 1m in the northern two and a half bays. The original weatherboard cladding remains on the inner wall of the cupboard on the first floor. The pitched roof of this range has been replaced by a flat roof, initially disguising the interest of early fabric inside. EXTERIOR: Although now clad in clay peg tile, the first floor had previously been weatherboarded, and was originally wattle-and-daub infilled panels. The ground floor, now rendered on all elevations, contains internal evidence of original wattle-and-daub panels as well as some evidence of brick infilling. Fenestration on the front elevation is regular with one three-pane casement in each bay to ground and first floors with the exception of the window over the door, which is a small single light. There is a single window to the southern elevation, a two-pane first-floor casement, lighting the eastern room. The windows to the rear (west) elevation are all multi-pane, with one to each bay to ground and first floors, but of differing sizes. There are no windows to the northern elevation. The doors, in the fire bay in the eastern elevation and central bay on the western elevation, are 1930s in date and have modern timber-framed porches. INTERIOR: The oak timber frame is visible in all rooms internally. The front, eastern, range retains much of the original frame. Diagonal downbraces can be seen in the first-floor bedrooms. The majority of the original rear (west) ground floor wall frame has been removed in the southern bay but it can be seen at first floor level. Much of the C18 partioning to the first floor also survives, as do some wide oak floorboards. The fireplaces all appear to be late C19, albeit in four instances set within the original stack. The principal beams show evidence of shallow chamfers, however, only one beam, of the central frame, had a visible lambs-tongue chamfer stop. This feature alone would suggest an earlier construction date, however, it may be re-used and coupled with the weight and proportions of the timbers a mid C17 date is more probable. HISTORY: The building appears to be part of the original settlement of Andrew's Hill. There are two other listed buildings that form the core of the settlement in the immdeiate vicinity of the cottage, including the C16 timber-framed cottage, Flagstones (Grade II) and C17 or earlier Home Cottage and Webb Cottage (Grade II). There may be an even earlier settlement at Andrew's Hill as the houses are situated on the Roman road, running from London to Chichester, of Stane Street. St Andrew's is shown on the Ordnance Surveys maps from 1876 onwards. The 1938 Ordnance Survey map shows an extension abutting the northen end of the cottage. Although not extant today the stone remains of this can be seen within the garden store, and it is probably contemporary with the extension to the rear, west, of the property. REASONS FOR DESIGNATION: St Andrew's in Billingshurst is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: Architectural Interest: St Andrew's dates to the mid C17 or earlier and was originally a three-bay, lobby-entrance, timber-framed cottage with central chimneystack; Survival: Despite later extensions and alterations, the timber frame is substantially intact and survives sufficiently to describe the plan and development of the building; Group value: It has grood group value with the C16 timber-framed cottage Flagstones (Grade II) and C17 or earlier Home Cottage and Webb Cottage (Grade II), all of which are on Stane Street. | 200004785868 | 2010-03-29 | 2010-03-26 | |||

Reasons for Designation Southwater House, a stone 1854 former vicarage in the Gothic style designed by Joseph Clarke, is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons: • Architectural interest: a carefully designed asymmetrical building with varied elevational treatments; • Materials: constructed of good quality stonework with ashlar dressings; • Craftsmanship: includes a fine stained glass staircase window, original pine joinery throughout and a number of stone fireplaces of varying designs, one dated, one incorporating Minton tiles; • Rarity: Joseph Clarke built few vicarages and this is certainly of comparable standard to his one listed example (at Congleton in Cheshire); • Degree of intactness: virtually unaltered externally and internally and including the attached stable courtyard and boundary walls. History Southwater House was built in 1854 as the vicarage to Holy Innocents Church Southwater. The church was built by J P Harrison in 1850 but the vicarage was designed by Joseph Clarke. The vicarage cost over £3,000 to build. The building is shown on the first edition 25 inch Ordnance Survey map of 1875 with its present outline. Southwater House remained in use as a vicarage until 1958 when it became a private residence. Joseph Clarke (1819/20-1881) was a Gothic Revival architect who became a member of the Ecclesiological Society in 1853, served as Diocesan Surveyor to the sees of Canterbury and Rochester and, from 1871, to the See of St. Albans. Most of his commissions were churches, whether wholly designed by him, or restorations of or additions to existing churches. He also built at least twelve schools and published plans of them in his 1852 'Schools and School house: a series of Views, Plans and Details, for Rural Parishes'. Other commissions included a teachers' training college at Culham, Oxfordshire, side wings to Beddington Place in Wallington, Surrey and the Metropolitan Convalescent Institution at Weybridge, Surrey. Only one other vicarage by him is listed, St. Stephen's Vicarage (Grade II), at Congleton in Cheshire, built in 1862. Details DATE: a Gothic style former vicarage of 1854, dated on drawing room fireplace. ARCHITECT: designed by Joseph Clarke. MATERIALS: built of coursed and squared stone rubble with ashlar dressings. Tiled roof with three stone chimneystacks. It is an asymmetrical building of two to three storeys with a single-storey service end and an attached former stable courtyard to the north-east. EXTERIOR: the entrance front faces south-east and is of three bays. The central entrance bay is of three storeys, with a narrow gable, a trefoil-arched window to the first floor and an arched stone entrance with corbel heads and a six-panel door with elaborate iron hinges. The larger northern bay is also of three storeys with a casement window to the second floor, triple sash to the first floor and a projecting mullioned and transomed window to the ground floor. The recessed south bay is of two storeys with a triple sash window to the upper floor with a gable with bargeboards and a triple mullioned and transomed window to the ground floor. The south-west elevation has an ornamental trefoil ventilation panel to the gable end, a ground floor five-light mullioned and transomed bay window below and a large square bay. The north-west elevation, also of three bays, has a wide two-storey gabled southern bay with a triple window to the first floor and two French windows on the ground floor. The narrow central bay has a two-light trefoil-headed staircase window on the first floor and the wider three-storey northern bay has a second floor casement window, a triple sash to the first floor and a mullioned and transomed window to the ground floor. The north-west side of the main house has a gabled dormer and external chimneystack but is otherwise covered by the single-storey service wing. This has a smaller arched entrance with plank door on the north-east side and terminates in a former stables with hayloft over, aligned south-east to north-west, with a central gabled dormer with wooden bargeboards. Attached at the eastern end of the former stable block is a stone wall enclosing the former stable yard, which incorporates a carriage entrance flanked by square stone gatepiers capped with ball finials. At the northern end this wall is attached to a further range of single-storey outbuildings including a former coach house with a dovecote in the end gable. Attached at the north-west end of these outbuildings is a brick garden wall in Sussex bond, about eight feet high, forming the boundaries of the property. INTERIOR: the main entrance on the north-west side leads into a small vestibule with a glazed screen leading into the staircase-hall. This has a roll-moulded cornice, exposed V-jointed ashlar walls and a dogleg closed string, pine staircase; this has elaborate turned balusters which are partly twisted in the centre and square newel posts with decorated square finials and pendants. The first-floor staircase window contains stained glass with a pattern of intersecting circles, shields of the See of Chichester and a Tudor rose. There are a number of four-panelled pine doors leading off. The library has a coved cornice, a coffered ceiling, a stone fireplace with carved corner shields of the See of Chichester and foliate spandrels, and retains its window shutters. The morning room has a coved cornice, a stone arched fireplace with foliate spandrels and Fleur de Lys Minton tiles, and also retains its window shutters. The drawing room has a coved cornice, Tuscan columns in the window bay and a stone fireplace with a trefoil arch dated 1854 in the corner corbels of the cornice. The dining room, thought to have been the servants hall originally, has a large cast iron fireplace. The service rooms include a former game larder. The master bedroom has a stone fireplace with a cornice supported on corbels and a pointed arch which is lined with Minton tiles. Other bedrooms have stone fireplaces with a trefoil-shaped or Caernarvon arch or wooden fireplace surrounds with cast iron fire grates. A service staircase to the second floor has twisted balusters and a turned newel post to the landing.

Some later alterations. History: From the 1840s, huts or cabins were provided for men operating railway signals. These were often located on raised platforms containing levels to operate the signals and in the early 1860s, the fully glazed signal box, initially raised high on stilts to give a good view down the line, emerged. The interlocking of signals and points, perhaps the most important single advance in rail safety, patented by John Saxby in 1856, was the final step in the evolution of railway signalling into a form recognisable today. Signal boxes were built to a great variety of different designs and sizes to meet traffic needs by signalling contractors and the railway companies themselves. Signal box numbers peaked at around 12,000-13,000 for Great Britain just prior to the First World War and successive economies in working led to large reductions in their numbers from the 1920s onwards. British Railways inherited around 10,000 in 1948 and numbers dwindled rapidly to about 4000 by 1970. In 2012, about 750 remained in use; it is anticipated that most will be rendered redundant over the next decade. Pulborough Station stands on the Three Bridges/Arundel railway line. It was first opened on 10 October 1859 and progressively grew with additional traffic deriving from a branch line to Midhurst via Petworth that was opened in 1866. The station reached its maximum size and complexity in the first half of the C20, with the completion of an island platform in December 1900, together with extensive sidings, a coal yard, cattle pens, a turntable, and goods shed. The 1876 1:2,500 Ordnance Survey map does not indicate the position of a signal box, but a small rectangular-plan cabin is depicted a little to the south of the turntable that was located to the north of the station. The present Pulbrough Signal Box, a Saxby & Farmer Type 5 design, was built in 1878. Saxby and Farmer introduced its Type 5 design in 1876 and signal boxes continued to be built to the design until 1896. It was a widespread design and appeared on more than a dozen railways, including the London, Chatham & Dover Railway, the Great Eastern Railway and also in Ireland and overseas. It was particularly associated with the London Brighton & South Coast Railway, where John Saxby had commenced his career and with which he had pioneered the use of mechanical interlocking of points and signals. The closure of the Midhurst branch-line, due to a growth in competition with road traffic, resulted in the closure of the goods yards during the mid 1960s; however, the volume of passenger traffic has ensured that the signal box has remained in operation. Details: MATERIALS: yellow brick piers with red brick panels, timber framed windows. Hipped slate roof with overhanging eaves supported on timber brackets. Glazed timber porch with felt clad mono-pitch roof, approached by timber stairs. PLAN: rectangular-plan (two bays long by a single bay wide) two-storey structure. EXTERIOR: tall ground-floor locking-room with red brick recessed panels between yellow brick piers. Each of the two panels in the main elevation (south-east wall) have a central three-course horizontal yellow brick band that rises over a four-pane round-headed timber-framed window to form a rubbed brick round arch with a projecting keystone. The rear two-storey brick elevation has a central yellow brick chimney stack flanked to either side by plain red brick panels to the ground and first floors. The end walls have plain red panels and the locking room is entered by a door in the south-west elevation with a flat concrete lintel. The operations room is reached by a two-flight timber stair with an extended timber landing carried on cast-iron London Brighton & South Coast Railway brackets produced by Taylor Brothers of Sandacre. The landing is occupied by a secondary glazed, timber-framed and weather-boarded porch. The first-floor operations room is timber-framed, with the original four-pane rounded-corner sliding Yorkshire windows extant in the two end elevations. The six sliding four-pane windows to the main elevation are modern timber replacements; nevertheless the original distinctive rounded-end toplights remain extant, albeit painted over. Similar toplights exist in the end walls, although those in the south-west elevation are obscured by the porch. The hipped slate clad roof with dark grey ridge tiles has a galvanized steel ventilator set centrally in the ridge. The overhanging eaves have timber plank soffits and are carried on distinctive timber brackets with cuboid stops. INTERIOR: the operations room is entered from the porch through the original four-panel timber door, with the top two panels glazed. The room is equipped with a secondary 1905-pattern London Brighton & South Coast Railway lever frame, with slots for twenty-nine levers; however, only twenty-five are occupied by levers. The present lever frame faces the rear of the operation room, whereas the original faced to the front, similar to that at Berwick Signal Box (East Sussex), and a fireplace (now blocked) was set centrally in the back wall. The blockshelf survives with working late-C19 ‘up’ and ‘down’ block instruments and gongs, together with block indicator dials. These are supplemented by a 1980s period track circuit diagram and modern computers. Two British Railway (S) signal cable tensioning wheels remain in situ and a suspended fibreboard ceiling has been inserted. The locking room houses signal cable pulleys, the mechanical locking-frame trays and modern electrical relay locking, together with a range of electronic signalling relays, some of Southern Railway manufacture, pre-dating nationalisation, and wall mounted transformer boxes manufactured by W.R. Sykes and Co. Ltd., Clapham, London. Reasons for Designation: Pulborough Signal Box, a Saxby & Farmer Type 5 London Brighton & South Coast Railway signal box built in 1878 on the Crawley to Littlehampton railway line, is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * Historical interest: the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway has particular association with John Saxby where he commenced his career and with which he pioneered the use of mechanical interlocking of points and signals; * Architectural interest: it is the only example of a two-bay, six windows width Saxby & Farmer Type 5 signal box in the country; * Intactness: the exterior is relatively unaltered apart from the re-aligned stairway and porch entry; * Survival of operating equipment: contains a London Brighton & South Coast Railway 29 lever frame and locking rack, circuit diagram, block instruments, gongs and indicators, semaphore cable tensioning wheels and pulley blocks, and Southern Railway electrical signalling relays; * Context: it forms part of a group of well preserved station buildings. | 010096225809 | 2013-08-16 | 2013-08-15 | |||

Most pre-1840 buildings are listed where they survive in substantially intact form. Architecturally it is an unusual agricultural building because it has a front wall of yellow brick although the remainder of the barn is timber framed. It is a large farm building of nine bays. This is an unusually large size for a purpose-built granary and it is likely that the building started life as a barn because there are large openings for carts in the 3rd and 7th bays of both sides. By 1875 it was known to be in use as a granary store with the northern three bays adapted as a stable for cart horses. The grain store floorboards and floor joists in the southern six bays are of machine-sawn softwood which are not C18 or early C19 in date and thus not original, and the northern three bays do not have a raised floor which are further reasons for supposing the building was originally a barn rather than a granary. The late C18 timber frame survives substantially intact with the addition of some later secondary timbers including poles for structural reasons. It forms part of a group with some C19 farm buildings and three listed buildings comprising Greatham Manor, which originally owned the farm, a cottage and the parish church. Therefore for its early date, architectural interest and group value the granary store meets the test of special interest. | 2012-09-19 | 2012-09-17 | |||||

Details MATERIALS: timber frame, the front range rendered, the rear range mostly clad in brick and tile hanging; the street frontage has Horsham stone roofs, the rear roofs and rear range have plain tile roofs. The ground floor of the front range was principally rebuilt in the C20, with masonry walls, and has large later C20 shop fronts. PLAN: three-bay, two-storey range fronting the street, now divided into two premises, the chemist occupying the central and southern bay, the carpet shop the northern bay while also extending to the rear parallel to 54A. The southern bay of the main range has been extended by half a bay beyond a former external transverse wall of the timber framed structure that is now internal. To the rear, at right angles to the street, a three-bay, two-storey range with a large internal stack to the innermost bay and a later external gable end stack. The north-western bay is possibly later in date. Lean-to single-storey outshut against the northern wall, abutting the plot to the north. EXTERIOR Front range No 54 has a single. first floor, two-over-two pane sash window set close under the eaves above a later C20 shop front, which is not of historic interest, which extends forward of the historic front wall which has been removed at ground floor level. No 56 has a shallow, probably late C19, projecting bay beneath a half-hipped roof. The upper floor, in red brick in Flemish bond beneath a Horsham slate roof, has plain timber bargeboards and a four-light timber sash. The ground floor is dominated by a later C20 shopfront (not of historic interest) which extends southwards to the party wall and replaces the historic front wall. Rear range, No. 54A The ground floor of the west-facing elevation is clad in red brick in Sussex bond and stretcher bond and has a C20 two-light, metal-framed casement beneath a shallow cambered arch and enlarged timber casements. The entrance, to the southernmost bay, has a C20 glazed door. The first floor is clad in alternating bands of plain and fish-scale tiles and has three-light timber casements either side of a small two-light casement. The upper floor of the gable wall has exposed box framing with rendered panels, to the right of a large, offset, external brick stack, of which the lower courses are in Sussex bond, the upper stage partly rebuilt in stretcher bond, the offset tile hung. To the left of the stack the upper floor is tile-hung, above an added porch, and has a small gable window in the roof space adjacent to the stack above a two-light first floor timber casement. A large internal stack, rising through the south-west facing roof slope, is rectangular on plan with grouped square flues and a moulded collar. INTERIOR: Front range: the ground floor of the northern bay (No 54) has a few reused components from an exposed timber frame. The shop extends to the rear where the northern timber-framed wall of no 54A is exposed. On the upper floor (now part of 54A) the exposed timber frame has jowled posts, arch braced at the angles from the posts to the mid-rail and a stop-chamfered axial beam with a one and a half inch chamfer. The south-western post, adjacent of to the door, is of heavier scantling suggesting it is a survival of an earlier building. Two-light window with diamond mullion. The ground floor of the central and southern bays (no 56) has been rebuilt and incorporates a later single-storey extension to the south that lacks evidence of historic fabric. Below the building is a small shallow cellar offset for the main range (not seen). On the first floor, where visible, the timber frame also has jowled posts and a formerly external timber-framed gable wall to the south. The wall plate and axial beam are chamfered similarly to no 54. The roof above the front range was not fully accessible but where visible is of side purlin construction, but with a proportion of replaced rafters. Rear range, No. 54A Exposed timber frame on external walls and to internal partitions, creating a narrow passage parallel to the north wall where there is a C19 staircase with slender square newels, stick balusters, two per tread, and shaped tread ends. The ground floor axial beam has been boxed in; the first floor has horizontally proportioned chamfered ceiling beams. The ground floor has stone flag floors. The former inglenook fireplace opening to the main stack has been remodelled in the C20. This room has largely later C19 or early C20 fitted cupboards, a four-panel door in a later C18 or early C19 moulded architrave; elsewhere there are plank doors or interwar panel doors. In the roofspace, a side purlin roof with raking struts and a proportion of replaced softwood rafters has a closed truss with lath and plaster panels between the central and outer bay, an internal stack of narrow red-brown brick and closely spaced boards to the first floor ceiling to the innermost bay. History The range fronting the street probably dates from the C17. It is thought that a deed of c1631 may refer to this property when it mentions a 'newly erected dwelling house' of two and a half bays and a half built for Matthew Weston, although this has not been proven. However the northern bay (no 54) appears to contain evidence of an earlier structure that would correlate with the longer history of the High Street. The three-bay building (54A) on the rear of the burgage plot to the rear of no 54 is of mid-to-later C17 date. The front range is used as commercial premises, doubtless its historic function, while the rear, apparently domestic range is occupied as a house. More recently the building has been used as a draper's shop, store and post office. Typically a street frontage building on a narrow burgage plot of medieval origin might open at the rear onto a yard, enclosed by service buildings or workshops. Such an arrangement survives well at Goldrings, West Street, Midhurst (Grade II) where the rear courtyard is enclosed by a two-storey kitchen wing and stables and beyond it a detached stable or carriage house. In the C19 a shallow half-hipped bay was added to the front of no 56; it was subsequently enlarged with a large C20 shop front. Reasons for Designation 54-56 and 54A High Street, Billingshurst, a C17 range fronting the High Street and attached rear range, is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons: • Architectural interest: C17 timber framed building and rear range, probably replacing an earlier building, demonstrating the evolution of the local vernacular tradition; • Plan: unusual survival in Billingshurst of a two-storey rear range of this early date; | 100062481377 | 2013-02-15 | 2013-02-15 | |||

History Batts Farm is a small house of multiple phases, and detailed study of its construction may in the future reveal a clearer picture of its likely early development. However, its fabric indicates it is of early post-medieval origin, and may have started as a single-bay cottage, with the slightly later addition of a second bay to take broadly its current form as a simple two-bay house. It is also possible that part of the building could have formed one element of a larger building which was subsequently altered and reduced in size. A catslide roof which runs the width of the building to the south, across the two bays, may be a separate later phase. The original orientation of the house is unclear; the catslide to the south suggests that at the time this was built, the front of the house was to the north, however the northerly extension, which is probably of C19 date, suggests that by this time the orientation had been reversed, with the entrance front to the south, as it is now. Also at some point during this period, another stack was added to the north and west, the building was clad in bricks and hung tiles, and the porch was added to the south elevation. The earliest Ordnance Survey map of 1879, shows that at this time there was a narrow range attached to the west of the building and a small detached outbuilding to the north. Details Batts Farm is a timber-framed house likely to date from the C16, with subsequent alterations and additions. MATERIALS: the building is principally of timber-frame construction, clad in red brick at ground floor and hung peg tiles at first floor. There is a sandstone plinth to the south and sandstone in the large end stack to the east; otherwise the stacks are of brick construction. The roof is covered in peg tiles, and doors and windows are timber, and of varying date. PLAN: the building has two bays (east and west) and is one-and-a-half storeys high, lowering to a single-storey to the south under a catslide roof which runs the width of the building. The roof is gabled to the east and half-hipped with a gablet to the west; there is a distinct 'kink' in the centre of roof, between the two bays. The building is served by three stacks – one substantial end stack of probable C17 date to the east, and two smaller stacks of probable C19 date to the west and north. At ground floor the west bay is divided into two rooms, one to the north (served by the north stack), and one to the south (served by the west stack). To the north of the west bay is a single-storey C19 outshut extension from where a largely straight stair leads up to a small landing within the west bay. From here, the two upper rooms, one over the west bay, and one over the east bay, are accessed. EXTERIOR: the single-storey brick and stone entrance front is to the south, beneath the catslide roof. The off-centre door is surrounded by a C19 open brick porch, and to either side is an irregular arrangement of multi-light casement windows. The wall of the east bay has a diagonal brick buttress. Each of the two first-floor rooms is lit by a single gable-ended roof dormer; these are likely to be late-C19 insertions. The north elevation is more irregular, with the C19 outshut extending out from the west bay. The east bay has a window at ground and first floors (the proportions and position of that on the first-floor appear to match those of a corresponding window in the west bay, now blocked by the outshut). A small circular window to the far left of the north elevation lights a recess beside the fireplace in the east bay. INTERIOR: within the building many elements of the timber frame remain visible. Within the east bay is a large fireplace opening with timber bressummer. A substantial axial beam runs from the centre of the bressummer to the cross wall which divides the east and west bays; the framework of this cross wall is partially exposed, and rests on a continuous masonry plinth. Floor joists run at right-angles from the axial beam to the north wall, and to a second axial timber to the south. This timber shows evidence of having held vertical framing members, and is thought to have acted as a wall plate to the original outside wall the framing now removed, so opening up the east bay to the area beneath the catslide. The first floor room to the west has a small hearth, served by the north flue; above this hearth is a blocked three-light window with diamond-section mullions. The room to the east is accessed through a round-headed doorway which cuts through the tie beam of the queen post roof truss between the two rooms, and is unheated. | 100061826997 | 2014-12-12 | 2014-12-11 |
