SP32SW CHADLINGTON EASTEND (South side) 7/17 Manor House and attached walls 27/08/57 and outbuildings

GV II*

Manor house. Early/mid C17, enlarged probably late C17 for William Rollinson, altered mid C18, possibly for Thomas Rollinson, and re-modelled c.1800. Coursed squared limestone with ashlar dressings; Stonesfield-slate and artificial stone-slate roofs with ashlar stacks. L plan. 2 storeys plus attic on semi-basement. Re-modelled 8-window front of taller late-C17 range breaks forward in the 3 bays to left, with 3 closely-spaced 6-pane sashes above a wide canted projection containing three 12-pane sashes; the remaining bays (except for bay 8 with blocked windows) have similar first-floor windows, but at ground floor bay 4 has a 12-pane sash in a stone-architraved former doorway, bay 5 has the present doorway below a lead-covered canopy of c.1800, and bays 6 and 7 have closely-spaced full-height 18-pane sashes. A moulded parapet breaks around the projecting bays and returns around the end. Right gable wall has pairs of sashes above 2-light stone-mullioned cellar windows. Left end wall has similar cellar windows, but at ground floor retains leaded 2-light mullioned windows with transoms and labels, and at first floor has 3-light mullioned windows. It forms a projection on the right of an earlier front, the left end of which is gabled and retains mullioned windows of 4 and 2 lights at ground floor and in the gable; at first floor, and on both floors in the 2-window linking section, are 12-pane sashes, and between the middle bays is a stone-architraved doorway. The parapet of the middle section is a later addition. Set back to left of the gabled bay is a late-C17 kitchen wing with a large early multi-pane sash and a matching opening incorporating a wide panelled door; gable wall retains a small mullioned window and a blocked oven opening. Attached to left is a stone-architraved gateway. Rear of earlier range has a gabled projection bearing a bellcote, and has further mullioned windows plus some sashes in the kitchen wing. Rear of taller range has mullioned windows to the cellars and to a rectangular stair projection which rises above the parapet; 3 small roof dormers have triangular pediments. A high wall, extending from the end of the range to enclose one side of the courtyard, forms the rear of 3 small C17/C18 outbuildings and includes a mullioned window. Interior: earlier range includes a bolection-mould panelled room, with a large contemporary surround over an earlier stone fireplace. Later range has a fielded-panelled room, an open-string stair with column balusters and a ramped handrail, and includes a fine drawing room with large-panelled walls, an elaborate cornice, a triangular-pedimented eared doorcase, and a Rococo fireplace with a large broken-pedimented overmantel incorporating a painting of the Thames in London flanked by scrolls. A cast-iron fireback is inscribed "WR/1738", and in a lower cellar is the date 1737. Thomas Rollinson was High Sheriff in 1766 and the drawing-room decoration may be of approximately that date. Major general Sir Henry Rawlinson, Bart, the renowned assyriologist, was born in the house, and the event is commemorated by a plaque. (Buildings of England: Oxfordshire: p525; The Hon.
