between storeys and moulded cornice. Octagonal bell shaped
domed slate roof with lead flashings and a ball finial to top,
plus small brick side wall stack to north-east side. One storey
with basement and octagonal in plan. South-east side has steps
down to a C17 four-centred arched door into basement. Above is
a large glazing bar sash in raised plain surround with keystone.
Similar window to east side, and to west side there are steps up
to a plain raised doorcase with keystone and panelled door. All
these C18 openings break through the original C17 plain band.

London and Wise, for Thomas Coke of Melbourne Hall. Work
carried out by William Cook of Walcot. Included in the
