Abstract: |
J. M. Trippier Archaeological and Surveying Consultancy was instructed by R. Staples Esq., via his architects, Messrs. Brewster Bye Architects Ltd. of 5, North Hill Road, Headingley, Leeds, to carry out a photographic survey of the Grade II* listed mansion known as Townhead, the Skaithe, Slaidburn, Lancashire, prior to refurbishment of the existing house and service wing. Townhead, as it stands today, is a substantial Gentleman's residence of the 1730s which replaced an earlier 17th century house, fragments of which still survive, and which was altered again in the early 19th Century. It was built on a terrace overlooking the historic and picturesque village of Slaidburn and comprises a five bay wide three storey double pile block of dressed stone with a linking block and service block to the west. There are farm buildings beyond. Although Grade II* Listed the house has been vacant for decades and, due to its deteriorating condition, was placed on English Heritage's 'Buildings at Risk Register' and English Heritage carried out a full architectural investigation in 2004. The current refurbishment scheme has provided the opportunity for this photographic record to be made to supplement the report of that investigation. |
