Abstract: |
A Level 2 building recording survey of Hoyland Lowe Stand was undertaken by ArcHeritage and members of the Hoyland Lowe Stand Community Group, as part of the Dearne Valley Landscape Partnership's Archaeology and Geology Project, which aims to enhance the understanding of the heritage of the area, and to develop skills, knowledge and capacity within local communities. The aim of the building survey was to provide a record of the current state of the building and to provide information on the phasing of the structure and its modifications. Hoyland Lowe Stand is a grade II listed stone-built square tower of two storeys, with an adjoining three-storey stair tower. It was built in the mid-18th century for the Marquis of Rockingham, and is thought to have been a hunting lodge and/or gamekeeper's residence. It is currently in a state of disrepair, having no roof or parapet, some areas of collapsed wall, and with most of the spiral staircase being missing. The windows are blocked with stone and brick infill, and very few original interior features survive. The quality of the stonework and the surviving decorative details such as the door and window surrounds and the string course reflect the high status this building once had. The location and height of the structure make it a unique feature within the landscape and an important part of the historic character of the area. |
