Stamford - Barn Hill House 2015-02-18

House of 1698 (the fireplaces are in the corners of the house, giving the rooms angled corner fireplaces as often seen in houses of this date, which explains why the windows are pushed towards the middle of the façade); according to the RCHM, the window surrounds suggest a remodelling in the mid-C18, but the remaining details of the entrance front derive from a further remodelling designed by Bryan Browning for the Marquess of Exeter in 1843-4.
