Description


LYDNEY GENERAL
SO 60 SW
7/56 Lydney Park
- II
Large country house. 1877, architect C H Howell. Rock faced coursed limestone,
tile roof: multiple chimney stacks, but all shafts cut back to base. A rambling
composition with main entrance to north flanked by projecting wing, left and
later museum wing, right; the south front, towards the Severn, incorporates
a tower at the right end. Generally 2½ storeys with various mullioned windows,
and plate glass sashes sliding behind stone members. Entrance front has large
external stack, right, with moulded panel and motto 'TIEN TA FOI', that of
the Bathurst family for which house was built, also an octagonal turret in
the internal corner, and a circular turret with steep conical roof on the wing
to left. To south front, seen from the main road, 2½ storeys, with two principal
gables and two lesser gables at centre, a 2 storey hexagonal bay and a segmental
one, stopped right to a five storey tower.
The interior contains much original panelling of high quality, a grand open
well oak stair, a secondary stair of 1910, and various original doors, fireplaces
and ceilings.
The building has a commanding position in parkland at the southern entrance
to the parish, and replaces an earlier house, now represented by the Stables
(qv).
