The approach into Stanton strategic importance one as of the first encountered in settlements Derbyshire the south to of the Trent valley flood plain. The buildings are generally clustered upon the ridgeline The form of the village today largely reflects the state it had reached by the end of the 18 of the 20 century, infill with housing Approaches however, this was more often coincidental. It was a practical and economic way for estates to build, where it just so happened that the rubblestone survived from earlier buildings in a convenient location.

Distinctive Architectural Details

STANTON BY BRIDGE

Checklist of details

The details in this appendix illustrate those building elements that help to define Stanton by Bridge’s particular character. These may be common everyday vernacular details found repeatedly throughout the conservation area or may be more exceptional, consciously designed features.

This appendix may prove useful in providing inspiration for new development, whether traditional or contemporary, if used with care. Paradoxically, the outstanding architectural details of a conservation area may not be the ones that are most typical of the area. They often belong to the important key buildings of a village and may look out of place on smaller buildings in subordinate locations. The majority of buildings in the conservation areas of South Derbyshire are plainly and simply detailed.

Boundary treatments • Pink rubble gritstone boundary walls with squared rubble copings • Red brick walls with triangular moulded red brick copings

Chimney stacks and pots • Buff-coloured square spiked pattern and short red clay chimney pots • Red brick stacks with rounded moulded bricks

Lintels and cills • Segmental brick arches • Gauged brick lintels • Stone wedge lintels and squared stone lintels • Plain brickwork without masonry cills

Roof types and details • Hipped roofs • Raised coped brick gables • Pitched roofs with plain close verge • Pitched roof with decorative bargeboards (Village Hall)

Walls • Dentilled and “sawtooth” eaves brickwork • Combinations of brick and rubblestone • Ventilation holes (blocked)

Windows • Casement windows - multi-paned and diamond lattice cast iron • Sash windows • Horizontally sliding sashes (Yorkshire sashes)

Historic paving • Millstone Grit pitching with gritstone kerb

Above - brick chimney stacks with several oversailing courses. The buff square clay pots with the spiked tops were introduced by the Burdett estate at Hollies Farm (above right). Rounded moulded bricks were used by the Harpur-Crewe estate at Plumtree Cottages (right). The same detail occurs in Ticknall.

Above - the Harpur-Crewe estate used short red clay pots for Plumtree Cottages (above) and the same pots were used by the Burdett estate for Stone Row (above left and detail left). WINDOWS - Lintels and cills

Above - in the 18th century, where wealth permitted in the finer houses, “hand-rubbed” bricks or “gauged” bricks were used. The result was a precise, thinly-jointed, wedge-shaped lintel. These bricks were sandwiched together using lime putty, such as the cambered arch (above). By the first half of the 19 th century, the Where economy was important, lintels were simpler use of stone was much more in form - a segmental arch formed by a course of widespread, partly due to “stretcher and header” bricks (below). improvements in the transportation of heavy goods (by canal and later rail). Wedge-shaped stone lintels echoed the wedge form of the gauged brick lintel (above).

Many of the smaller cottages had no cill (left). Only a handful of the grandest buildings and mid-late 19th century buildings had stone cills (above). ROOF TYPES AND DETAILS

Below right - pitched roof in Staffordshire blue clay tiles with plain close verge

Left - decorative timber bargeboards Below right - roof incorporating mixture of old handmade plain red clay tiles and Staffordshire blue clay tiles WALLS - Brickwork details

Above and right - the pattern of ventilation holes within brickwork is distinctive. They are survivals from the original use of buildings as hay barns. Most of these slots have been blocked up with slate or blue bricks when the buildings were converted from agricultural uses into dwellings.

Brick eaves details - Left top and second from top - dentilled and corbelled eaves

Rounded moulded bricks - used in conjunction with brick chimney stack (right) and corner of agricultural building (above) WALLS - Rubblestone and brick

Brick and rubblestone - brick makes strong quoins and window and door reveals (above right and below). It was often used as a repair, or when the old buildings were adapted or altered, a common occurrence during the 18th and early 19th centuries. The unusual alliance of stone and brick, with little attempt to disguise the building evolution, is one of Stanton-by-Bridge’s most delightful and picturesque qualities. WINDOWS

Above left - side-hinged timber casements of multiple panes. These were made with flush fitting opening casements and frames.

Left - casement with single horizontal glazing bar.

Above right - cast iron, diamond- paned casements

Right - side-hinged multi-paned timber casements set within chamfered frame (The Village Hall)

Left and bottom left - horizontally sliding sash windows are a common feature of the Midlands, often reserved for the less important elevations or small vernacular buildings. They are quite common in Stanton.

Right - vertically-sliding sash window. Most of the large, formal houses in Georgian England had large sash windows. In the early 19th century it was quite common to still find exposed sash boxes in rural areas (right). HISTORIC PAVED SURFACES
