| Abstract: |
Foley House [GDII listed] , number 28 Worcester Road, in the town of Great Malvern Worcestershire is important architecturally and has original early 19th century features. To the elevations these are the original stucco render, early 19th windows, front door surround with pilasters and a decorative overhead fanlight. To the rear are further early 19th century windows and an early fanlight to the rear door. There are small side early 19th century windows in the attic rooms. Later phasing has included dormer windows to the rear and two rear overhanging bays, one with 1930s- 40s Crittall windows, that have some historical and community significance. Later alterations have involved the removal of the front ground floor early 19th windows and the rather fine portico porch seen in historic photos, these alterations have not added to the significance of the building. Inside little remains that can be seen that is significant, apart from the early 19th century staircase, alcoves and a few timber doors ,architraves and skirtings. Some earlier fabric maybe being concealed, e.g. fireplaces, original ceilings and cornices to the ground floor rooms. There is some historical and community significance with famous people and events when the building was used as a Marionette Theatre and its associations with the Malvern Festival in the 1930s and 40s.This assessment was commissioned to help inform the LPA on any future proposals but was not an analysis of any proposed new works or the impact. This report does include some assessment of significance of the heritage asset and its surroundings and analysis of the historic fabric as found and could be seen on 17th May 2019 |
