Abstract: |
The house and extensive range of outbuildings at No. 38 South Street form a Grade II listed group of buildings of considerable architectural and historical interest, situated in a prominent position immediately S of the centre of the historic town of Leominster. Historical research has revealed that 38 South Street is located close to the line of the medieval town ditch of Leominster and that the site was occupied until the early 19th century by three narrow tenement plots, probably established during the late medieval period. The present building appears to have originally been built in about 1835-40 and forms one of a series of substantial Regency townhouses constructed at the N end of South Street between 1810 and 1840 (other notable examples include No. 33 (Bryanstone House), No. 35 and No. 66 (The Hawthorns), all three of which are Grade II listed). No. 38 was occupied from c.1830 to 1865 by the Manwaring family, who were corn merchants, maltsters and curriers (leather dealers) and appear to have been responsible for building not only the house but also the substantial range of outbuildings to the rear, functioning both as stables and warehouses. The house and premises were subsequently occupied by a brewer, Charles Blundell, who made significant alterations, adding a two-storey wing to the N of the main house and expanding the outbuildings to the rear in order to accommodate a brewery. Four distinct phases of alteration and new building work were identified, extending from the early 19th century up to the late 20th century. |
