Full Description
Crenellated folly of brick with pebble or flint nodule rustication (painted over). Pointed, circular and round-headed windows, and blocked and cinquefoil windows - probably never real windows but merely sham; likewise the lowered appearance of the west door with remnants of tracery above.
Pevsner (S1) says it is supposed to be 1721 but puts it nearer 1775; date questionable.
Seen by E. Rose (NAU), 8 May 1976.
Pevsner's (S1) suggested date is very accurated as the building was burnt out in the bread riots of 1766 and afterwards rebuilt.
See (S2) in file.
Compiled by E. Rose (NLA), 30 June 2000.
Press cutting in file (S3)
Listed building description dates building as 1721, refronted around 1770.
