Distinctive Architectural Details

TICKNALL

Checklist of details

The details in this appendix illustrate those building elements that help to define Ticknall’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 Random rubble was commonly used for the construction of the Walls and copings local walls, finished with triangular ashlar copings.

Left - rubblestone boundary wall, mortared and finished with triangular ashlar coping stones. Where there was an opening for a gateway or drive, the rubblestone was typically finished with brick piers or quoins, keyed into the stonework.

Below - brick wall with brick gatepiers constructed from rounded, moulded bricks and finished with ashlar copings, shaped to match.

Above - rubblestone boundaries edging the fields are roughly mortared and often finished with “cock and hen” copings.

Above left - brick boundary wall of the C19 with triangular red clay coping. Above right - tall walls of rubblestone heightened in brick to serve the former kitchen garden at the old Vicarage. BOUNDARY TREATMENTS Gates and railings

Left - heavy cast iron gates serve the churchyard.

The introduction of cast-iron enabled gates and railings to be produced more cheaply and the amount of ornamentation increased. By 1850 cast-iron had largely replaced wrought-iron because it lent itself to mass production.

Above and right - iron round bar railings with cast iron urn finials partially concealed by a privet hedge at Pennwyche, 32 High Street.

Below - cast iron round balusters with cast-iron fleur-de-lys finials and cast horizontal rails at 35 Chapel Street.

Right - in some instances wrought iron railings were combined with cast iron finials, which could be ordered by the local blacksmith from a catalogue. Here fleur-de-lys finials are combined with square section wrought iron railings set straight into a stone plinth.

CHIMNEY STACKS AND POTS

Common patterns of chimney stacks and pots were made feasible by the extensive estate ownership at the end of the 19th century. Blue brick oversailing courses (above) and rounded and moulded bricks (right) are particularly characteristic of Ticknall.

Chimney pots are mainly a 19th century phenomenon. Local manufacturers provided an array of styles from which to choose, such as the square buff pots (below) and chamfered red pots (bottom right). DOORS - Joinery

Panelled doors Above - Georgian panelled doors and traditional doorcases, pilasters and cornice. Hayes Farmhouse (above left) has a Regency style doorcase with a semi-circular “sunburst” fanlight, six- panel door with “raised and fielded” and “bolection” mouldings, very rich details. 32 High Street (Pennwych) - (above right) - has similar features with plainer “scratch” mouldings for the bottom door panels. Doorcases Several doorcases conform to a regular pattern (below). The cornice is extended so that it forms a canopy which is supported by attenuated, curved brackets. This elegant detail can be seen below in combination with fanlights. From the left - (1) doorcase of circa 1820 with reeded pilasters, Greek key and guttae and fanlight with central diamond, (2) lattice fanlight and simplified doorcase, (3) the same formula within a stone surround with carved acanthus leaf moulding. Above left - porch; a simple ornamental timber trellis with lead canopy at 35 Chapel Street. Above right - four-panel door at 38 High Street, incorporating simple “scratch” mouldings and simple doorcase with cornice.

Below left - five-panel Victorian door, the bottom two pales have “scratch” mouldings, whilst the upper panels have “chamfer-stop” mouldings and “raised and fielded” panels. Slender pilastered timber doorcase with mouldings. Below right - gothic style boarded door at 10 Church Lane, with pointed arched top rail, one of only a handful surviving that were adopted by the estate. LINTELS AND CILLS

Timber lintels were often used for the first floor window under the eaves (left and below), where there was insufficient depth for a stone lintel.

Most of the larger properties have stone cills (below), whilst the smaller cottages were originally built without proper cills (bottom). Wedge lintels are a common form throughout Ticknall. Most are now painted. Many were incised to look like individual blocks of stone ashlar.

The semi-circular arch lintel was reserved for the chapels (below). In Ticknall, brick lintels incorporate the full range of techniques available to the bricklayer, from the most complex and expensive to fabricate - the cambered arch (top) and the gauged arch (above) - to the cheapest type of construction - the segmental arch (right and below).

Segmental arches could be a single course of “headers”, a full brick deep, or a brick-and-a-half deep. In some cases these were made from special hand-made rubbed bricks incorporating incised lines to simulate lime putty joints (below). ROOF TYPES AND DETAILS

The majority of roofs are pitched with a simple plain close verge or corbelled verge (above left) but there are some more unusual roof types.

Raised coped gables in brick (above) and raised coped gable with a modern brick-on-edge coping (left).

Below and right - hipped Welsh slate roofs with pronounced overhanging eaves, hips cloaked with blue clay tiles and a wrought iron scroll at the eaves (below) or lead flashings covering timber rolls (right and bottom right). Eyebrow dormers may reflect the presence of a former thatched roof (above and below right) or a gablet may reflect a Victorian interpretation of this local tradition (below left).

Occasionally, handmade, red clay tiles survive (right and below). They have a characteristic undulating form. STREET FURNITURE

Left: Cast iron pillar fountains manufactured by Glenfield and Kennedy Ltd of Kilmarnock, erected 1914, incorporating lion mask to tap outlet. (2 of 15, all Grade II listed buildings).

Left top: Alcove and remains of early 19th century well containing cast iron pillar fountain of 1914 (Grade II listed building).

Left bottom: Spring house, Above: K6 red telephone box incorporating (Sir Giles Gilbert Scott design) water trough and early 19th century well (Grade II listed building.

Below left: Remains of well, built in brick and contained within wall of paddock, probably designed to protect a cast iron tap (removed) Below right: Brick alcove containing spring-fed well, early-mid 19th century. WALLS Stone, brick and timber-frame

Above - the remains of a truss and timber frame exposed in the gable end of 53 High Street. The building was adapted and heightened in brick. This is the only visible remains of a timber-frame building in the village.

Rubblestone and brick Above - purpose-built house (28 Main Street) with fine quality Flemish bond brickwork for front elevation and rubblestone for side and rear walls. Right and below - stone cottages were often enlarged and heightened in brick as bricks became more fashionable and readily available locally. Notice the profile of the earlier stone gable in the end walls.

Left and above - examples of rubblestone used in combination with brick reveals and brick or timber lintels, common local details. WALLS Decorative details

Right - rubblestone plinth, roughly coursed and dressed, with chamfered stone weathering and quoins at 40 Main Street

Plinths

Above - barn with rubblestone plinth and mortared fillet providing a weathering.

Right - random rubble mortared walls with heavy dressed quoins and shallow plinth (The Chequers Inn). The weathering on the quoins continues across the rubblestone plinth indicating that the plinth was intended to be finished rendered with the quoins left exposed.

Below - brick plinth with handmade rounded bricks forming a softly finished weathering.

Bottom right - brickwork with fine dressed ashlar plinth (Sheffield House, 25 High Street). Brick and stone bands

Above - dentilled brick band Right - plain brick band of three courses

Below - painted stone bands of ashlar Bottom right - stone band of ashlar Brick eaves details

Right - dentilled brick eaves with rubblestone walls (an outbuilding)

Below left - “sawtooth” brick eaves

Below right - dentilled brick eaves

Right - plain corbelled brick eaves

Brick verge details Above - corbelled brick verge

Right - plain close verge Above and left - a number of buildings and features, such as chimney stacks, were built by the estate with rounded, moulded bricks. These were handmade in special moulds.

Above - barns often incorporate “breathers” - gaps in the walls to provide cross ventilation. These are often treated decoratively, such as the diaper pattern above. Most examples have been blocked up (as above) with a contrasting material.

Above right - the remains of ochre-coloured limewash can often be found near the eaves.

Right - “penny-struck pointing”. The fresh lime mortar joints are incised with a penny, rolled in the surface to create a crisp appearance. WINDOWS

Casement windows - within Ticknall there are many varieties of traditional side-hinged casement, including some unusual examples, such as the lattice cast-iron casement (above).

Chamfered frames in timber, with recessed opening lights, are a particular feature (right). Note that many of these examples have no projecting cill, of any kind.

Below - eight-by-eight paned casement window. The fixed light is direct-glazed. Note the quality of the reflections from the original cylinder glass. WINDOWS

Sash windows Vertically sliding sashes (above) - 12 over 12 pane sashes with exposed sash boxes. Top right - six-over-six sashes without horns. As glass production evolved, the size of panels of glass increased, and the small-paned sash windows of Georgian England gave way to larger panes of glass, separated by single vertical glazing bars. Many of these had “horns” added to increase the strength and rigidity of the sash frame (below left).

Horizontal sashes (right and bottom row) also known as “Yorkshire sashes”. Unlike the vertical sashes, very few of the smaller Yorkshire sashes had a proper cill, and they had a pegged frame construction (bottom left). 0 400 800 APPENDIX 2 metres
