Abstract: |
Northern Archaeological Associates have been commissioned by Story Homes Ltd to undertake the preparation of a building recording report for Bongate Cross, a large house to the north of Cross Croft, Appleby-in-Westmorland, Cumbria. Bongate Cross is a two storey villa with a small cellar and outbuildings to the rear. The house was built in or around 1910. The house was built by Edward Alexander Heelis, a man of some local standing, who was three times mayor of Appleby and a solicitor in the family firm. He was also brother of William Heelis, who was the husband of Beatrix Potter. The building is a villa-style house, and is rectangular in plan, with a stylised rounded tower at the southern corner. The house was designed in a late Arts and Crafts and early Modernist / Art Nouveau style, to appear as though it had developed organically, with the use of simple forms repeated in different ways, and the emphasis on asymmetrical vernacular architecture rather than rigidity of construction. |
