NHER 13671 (Structure record) - Post medieval icehouse

Icehouse.
Located by National Trust. Location seems to be exactly on parish boundary. Brick entrance, arched, part restored.
Doorway now wired off.
Steps down to chamber inner door, followed by line of tunnel now exposed to air.
Domed circular pit, very deep, almost an ice well.
Liable to further erosion of covering soil.
Information from (S1).
E. M. James (KLM), 18 May 1980.

Date pre 1860 according to National Trust.
Restoration by National Trust involved removing corrugated iron, wire, oil and carriage lamps, bottles, three old baths, a bedwarmer, gin traps and bullets.
See (S2).

Entrance set in façade wall originally about 2.4m (8ft) high, with quatrefoil blank opening for decoration to one side (other side missing).
Steps lead direct to chamber - no flat tunnel.
Unbelievably long distance uphill from lake - almost 1.2km (3/4 mile).
National Trust now suggest late 17th century date - more probably 18th.
Newspaper cutting (S3) in file.
