Abstract: |
Greenlane Archaeology carried out a building recording of a former coach house at Stockbridge House, Ulverston. The current house is thought to be of early 19th century date and may be the work of well-known Kendal-based architect Francis Webster. There were no substantial buildings on the site before 1832 but a probable precursor to the current structure had been erected by 1837. In the later 19th century this was substantially remodelled to form the current building; an architect's drawing of 1874 provides the probable date at which this was carried out. The building recording revealed that while there was a considerable amount of early fabric remaining the building had undergone several phases of alterations, with elements of the earlier building of probable early 19th century date incorporated into the remodelling of 1874. This was then left largely untouched for much of the 20th century although a general decline in its condition meant that some repairs were carried out. The building represents an interesting example of a purpose-built coach house and stable block with additional outbuildings, attached to a large house. Perhaps more noteworthy is its development from an earlier building, elements of which have seemingly survived into the present structure. |
