Finch Foundry and Foundry House. (Foundry House is to the left of Finch Foundry when facing it from the road).

  • List Entry Number: 1105302
  • Heritage Category: Listing
  • Grade: II*

Details:SX 69 SW 12/202. GV II * Originally woollen factory and grist mill then tool factory, saw mill, carpenter’s and wheelwright’s shop now a working museum. 

The earliest buildings date possibly to the late C18 with considerable alterations during the C19, various additions and infills were made throughout the C19. Stone rubble walls with some cob. Gable ended slate roof. The house has rendered brick stack at left gable end.

Plan: Foundry House probably dates to the early C19 when the adjoining premises were taken over as a foundry and has a two-room central entry plan. In the early 1800s the premises consisted of two separate buildings – the larger one to the east a three-storey woollen factory, with a smaller building a short distance to its west functioning as a grist mill. In 1814 the eastern building was taken over by William Finch to become an edge tool works – used mainly as a forge rather than a foundry. The first and second storey floors were removed and the water wheel inserted at the right-hand side. In a deed of 1835 the building is referred to as a hammer mill and the second water wheel at the rear was probably added at this time to give an air blast to the forges. In circa mid C19 the adjoining westerly grist mill building was leased by Finch and converted to a grinding house also powered by a water wheel at its side. At subsequent stages in the C19 a stable was built in front of the right side of the forge building with an office on the first floor at its inner end and an open storage area below; to the right of this the area between the two original buildings was roofed to form a saw mill. Between the forge and the house a first floor room used as a workshop was built, allowing access below to the Quaker burial ground behind the premises. 

At the rear of Foundry House a long outbuilding was built to store reed and straw which was used to wrap up the tools before despatch. The Saw Mill was subsequently demolished for road widening. 

Exterior: Foundry House to left has symmetrical two-window front of original 16-pane hornless sashes with central C19 panelled double doors. Between the house and forge to the right is a tall archway with thoroughfare below (to burial ground) and granite steps to its right leading to balcony in front of first floor doorway. To their right is fallstone arch now infilled with door and window. Beyond is the forge which is lower and has doorway at its left-hand end. All three overshot water wheels survive at rear and side of forge and right side of grinding house. 

Interior: retains the complete machinery from when the building was working, apart from the saw mill, consisting of tilt hammers, shear and drop hammers, four hearths and two furnaces, a polishing wheel, band saw and grindstone in the grinding house. The machinery is still in working order.

  • List Entry Number: 1147359
  • Heritage Category: Listing
  • Grade: II

Details:  SAMPFORD COURTENAY STICKLEPATH SS 69 SW 12/212 The Dairy and adjoining 22.2.67 cottage to its east GV II Pair of cottages in row, originally one house. Early C16 with C17 additions, altered probably in early C20. Rendered probably stone rubble walls. Thatch roof. Axial stack with brick shaft. Plan: originally one 3-room-and-through-passage plan house of which the hall and inner room with rear wing comprise the dairy and the passage and lower end form the adjoining cottage to the right. Originally had a small open hall – possibly with central hearth although this cannot be confirmed without access to the roof space. Over the inner room a chamber was jettied into the hall but again it is unclear if this is an original feature or inserted. Hall stack backs onto passage. Rear wing behind hall/inner room is probably early C17. The division into 2 cottages probably took place in late C19 or early C20. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3 window front, windows disposed towards left-and right-hand ends. The dairy to the left has 2 window front of early C20 3-light casements with a gabled C20 porch to left of centre and part-glazed door.

  • List Entry Number: 1147228
  • Heritage Category: Listing
  • Grade: II

SAMPFORD COURTENAY STICKLEPATH SX 69 SW 12/201 Post Office GV II House. Circa early C16 with late C16 or early C17 alterations. Plastered stone rubble walls. Gable ended thatch roof. Small brick stack at left-hand gable end. Plan: originally likely to have had 3-room and through-passage plan of which the passage and lower room have been demolished. The house almost certainly was built with an open hall which probably had an open hearth but only a roof inspection could prove this. The chamber over the inner room is jettied into the hall and this was an original arrangement judging by the closed truss in the partition above. The hall stack backed onto the passage, if not original it was inserted in the late C16 or early C17 when the ceiling was put in. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 2-window front of early C20 3-light casements. C20 part-glazed door at left-hand end and leanto wooden porch against right-hand end. Interior: hall has plank and muntin screen at higher end with chamfered muntins. Above it the ceiling projects slightly into the room at a lower level to the rest of the room apparently with a plastered-over beam running along the edge – this strongly suggests an internal jetty. In the main part of the ceiling is an axial beam, richly moulded with converging stops. At the lower end of the hall is a granite-framed fireplace with hollow chamfered lintel resting on shaped granite corbels. Roof-space inaccessible at time of survey. Inner room has ovolo and fillet moulded cross beam with deeply inscribed scrolls to the ogee stops. Newel stairs by fireplace with chamfered wooden lintel. Roof: Over the hall the rear blade of a cruck truss survives (the front one cut off by the chimney stack) with threaded purlins. Above the jetty is a closed truss and there is another open truss over the inner room. No access to roof-space so evidence of smoke-blackening on timbers was not available. Despite its modest size this house preserves some interesting and good quality features.

TUDOR COTTAGE

https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1326456

SAMPFORD COURTENAY STICKLEPATH SS 69 SW 12/211 Tudor Cottage 22.2.67 II GV House in row of eight. Circa 1500 with late C16 and C17 alterations and circa late C17 addition. Rendered rubble walls. Thatched roof gabled at either end where it joins attached houses. Axial granite ashlar stack with moulded dripcourse and tapering cap. Plan: originally 3-room and through passage plan, lower end to the right, inner room rebuilt as adjoining cottage to the left. Initially the house was open to the roof over the hall and probably lower end (but possibly from end to end) with central hearth to hall. Hall stack inserted backing onto passage in circa late C16 but the hall very likely remained open to the roof until some time in the early-mid C17. In the C17 a small heated rear wing was added behind the passage, probably for kitchen purposes. At some stage the inner room was absorbed into the adjoining house to the left. Exterior: 2 storeys. Regular 3-window front of C19 small-paned 2-light casements on first floor, on ground floor is C20 casement to left and C19 16-paned horned sash to right. Central C19 plank door under slate doorhood. Interior: at rear of passage is wide original wooden doorframe with bowed jambs and cambered lintel. Hall has chamfered granite-framed fireplace with very high lintel. Chamfered ceiling beam with straight-cut stops, some of the joists are also chamfered. Behind the fireplace a section of chamfered plank and muntin screen divides the hall from the passage. Facing the passage the hall stack has a granite ashlar stack. Rear wing has fireplace with chamfered wooden lintel. Roof: original roof structure survives, smoke-blackened, consisting of 2 probably true crucks, one over the hall has only the rear blade, the front one has been cut off by the inserted stack. The other is at the lower side of the passage – an open truss with a partition inserted beside it, and it has a morticed cranked collar. Threaded ridge with conventional morticed apex and trenched or threaded purlins. The end truss in the lower gable end has a strengthening block below the apex. Over the passage at the front a section of the roof has been plastered and this is also blackened. At the higher end of the hall is a later partition inserted to separate off the higher end.
