Place & story

Richard Golding’s rebuilding

The architectural inventory records Shrule House as reconstructed by Richard Golding in 1812. Four limestone steps lead to its central double doors, framed by cut stone and a keystone. The recorded interior includes panelled shutters, carved door surrounds and moulded plaster cornices. Its two principal ground-floor rooms have different fireplaces: a Classical-style chimneypiece in the dining room and a Gothic one in the drawing room. [2]
