Addenda et Corrigenda

ADDENDA ET CORRIGENDA.

The following list of Addenda and Corrigenda has been divided into its appropriate volumes for greater convenience of reference.

The Addenda consist of descriptions of such monuments as have been inadvertently omitted from the inventories already published and of further particulars (which have transpired since publication) concerning monuments already described.

With regard to the Corrigenda, the Commission is fortunate in that its labours, in one direction, have coincided with those of the Diocesan Committee on Church Plate. The investigation of this subject is one of considerable difficulty, from the frequent effacement or semi-effacement of the hall-marks, from the comparative difficulty of access, and from the impossibility of ensuring by personal investigation that the tally is complete. With regard to the last two disabilities, the Diocesan Committee has perhaps had greater opportunities than the Commission and it has been thought wise therefore to accept, in general, their conclusions (where these differed from these of the Commission's investigators) as the results of a longer, closer and more detailed investigation of the subject than was possible in the case of the Commission.

In the Corrigenda the reference letters refer to the column of the page referred to, and the number following to the number of the line from the head of the page.

The S. room in the former Hall has on a post in the N. wall, in addition to the date 1630, the initials I.H. and a carved rose and molet; in the opposite wall is an original doorway with a four-centred head, and above are some remains of conventional painted decoration of 17th-century-date. The moulded wall-plates on either side of the original Hall remain, and in the roof is an original king-post truss with cambered tie-beam supported by curved braces in the form of a four-centred arch, and an octagonal king-post with moulded cap and base and four-way struts. There is another original king-post truss over the solar wing. In the lintel of one of the ground-floor rooms are mortices for four diamond-shaped and one central flat mullion with a groove for a shutter, and in the passage above the kitchen is a window, now blocked, with two diamond-shaped mullions.

The Saint wears a green cap and tunic and red cloak, leans upon a light green staff, flowered at the top with green leaves and red berries, and wades through water in which are fishes, etc.; the Child-Christ is nimbed, wears a green garment, holds an orb surmounted by a cross with pennant and is seated on the left shoulder of the Saint. On W. side is a chapel with bell and turret and figure of hermit holding lamp; on E. side faint traces of another figure with conical head-dress and holding an object in right hand; background of red powdered with conventional flowers; upper part of painting is in good state of preservation but lower part much worn. It is probably of 15th-century date but superimposed upon earlier work, of which faint traces are visible in places representing rectangular blocks of masonry in double purple lines. It has recently been exposed, having been plastered over since 1749.

Loughton—(8) Yew Tree Cottage and a cottage adjoining on the S.W., 270 yards N. by E. of (7), are of two storeys. The walls are of timber-framing partly plastered and partly weather-boarded; the roofs are tiled. The cottages were built late in the 16th or early in the 17th century and have small modern additions at the back. At either end is a massive chimney-stack with splayed offsets; the upper courses of both stacks have been re-built. One of the first-floor windows has a lead casement probably of 17th-century date. There is a large exposed ceiling-beam and some plain battened doors with wood latches.

Condition—Poor.

(9) White House, N.W. side of Church Hill, 50 yards N.E. of St. John's Road, is of two storeys with attics. The walls are of brick covered with cement; the roofs are tiled. The house was built in the latter part of the 16th century but has been much altered and added to in the 18th and 19th centuries. The walls are covered with modern cement and towards the N.E. end of the house is an original chimney-stack of six grouped octagonal shafts, now cemented over. Inside the building are some exposed beams, and one bedroom has an early 18th-century wood chimney-piece with moulded architrave and shelf. In the attic is a brick fireplace with chamfered jambs, segmental arch and an iron grate with thick bars, all of late 17th or early 18th-century date.

Condition—Good.

(10) Priors, Trap's Hill, house, barn and outbuildings, 100 yards S.E. of (4). The house is of two storeys, timber-framed and plastered; the roofs are tiled. It was built in the second half of the 16th century and a front or S.W. wing was added in the latter part of the 18th century; about the same time a farmhouse adjoining on the N. was built. The S.W. front of the original building, now overlooking the yard, is weather-boarded and the first floor projects on curved brackets. On the first floor is an original four-light window with moulded mullions and lead casements. On the S.E. front the door to the kitchen is nail-studded and has long hinges with shaped ends. On the N.E. front is a large chimney-stack. Inside the building some of the timber-construction and ceiling beams are exposed. In the Hall is a small cupboard with a linenfold panel, probably refixed, and in the upper floor an old battened door. Some of the roof timbers are exposed and the roof over the N.E. wing is of the central purlin type with curved struts.

The Barn and three outbuildings, 20 yards S. of the house, are of weather-boarded timber-framing with tiled roofs. They are probably of late 17th-century date, but have been partly renewed.

Condition—Of house, good; of outbuildings, fairly good.

(11) Beech House, on S.E. side of High Road, 200 yards N. of (5), is of two storeys; the walls are of brick; the roofs are covered with tiles and slates. The house was entirely re-built in the 18th century, but incorporates some beams and fittings of earlier date. On the N.W. front is a recessed brick panel with the following inscriptions, W.R.M. 1648 I R AGE 4. A room on the first floor is lined with early 17th-century panelling and has an oak chimney-piece of the same date, said to have come from Chigwell Hall. The overmantel is in three bays with broad Ionic pilasters carved with festoons of fruit; above is an entablature with a dentilled cornice, acanthus brackets over each pilaster and draped swags over each bay; in each bay is a shouldered and eared panel with carved scrolls; the shelf has carved panels and swags; the fireplace has a stone surround with moulded edges. In the kichen are four plain battened doors with long hinges, and on the upper floor is a late 17th-century door. At the top of the stairs are several plain and one shaped flat baluster.

Condition—Good.

Low Leyton—p. 167 (a) 41: for "William" read "Philip." (7) Forest House, now used as an annexe to Infirmary and stables, 1¼ m. N.E. of St. Mary's church. The house is of three storeys with cellars; the walls are of brick covered with cement; the roofs are covered with slates. It was built c. 1700 and has considerable 18th and 19th-century alterations and additions. The elevations have no original features. Inside the building the Entrance Hall has a plastered ceiling divided into panels by moulded beams with a large octagonal panel in the middle painted with an allegorical group representing Abundance. The Entrance Hall and many of the rooms are lined with original panelling. The main staircase rises in three flights round a central well to the first floor and has plain strings, moulded handrail, short twisted balusters and square newel-posts with turned pendants. The secondary staircase is of similar character but of simpler detail. On the ground floor of the modern extension is some panelling of c. 1600. Removed from the house and re-set in the hall of the modern Infirmary is a marble fireplace with a carved and moulded shelf supported by tapering pilasters with busts of female figures in classical drapery. The stable stands to the N.W. of the house and is a rectangular building of two storeys; the walls are of brown bricks with red brick doorways; the roofs are tiled. The middle part of the S.E. front projects and the modillioned eaves-cornice is carried up over it in a pointed pediment. The quoins are rusticated, and at the first-floor level is a plain projecting string. The windows are rectangular and the roof is hipped.

Condition—Of house and stables, good, the former much altered.

The foundations are of various dates and different materials, the thinness of the walls and the general arrangement do not indicate any great antiquity, and possibly no part of the building is older than the 14th century. (See Essex Arch. Soc. Trans., N.S., XVI, 190, with plan.)

Chapel—(1) Parish Church—Plate: add an Elizabethan Cup.

Colchester—(1) Roman Remains: (a) W. of the place marked (13) in the plan of Roman remains a mosaic pavement was recently uncovered and has since been removed to the Castle Museum. The ornament consists of panels, bands of guilloche pattern and geometric designs; the mosaic was surrounded by a broad band of plain red tesserae and nearly half the whole design was recovered. In the neighbourhood of the pavement several foundations of walls at varying depths have been encountered and their further excavation is now pending.

(b) Mosaic pavement (Plate, Vol. iv, p. 185), found 1923, in garden approximately 130 yards S. of East Hill House, surrounded by red border (about 19 feet square in all) with central square divided into nine rectangular panels by strips of cable pattern; centre panel encloses circle containing four heart-shaped leaves shaded from red to white; four of the remaining panels are square and contains geometric patterns; each of the others contains a small dolphin and a composite sea-beast in black, red, white and yellow colours; in S.E. corner the pavement has collapsed into a pit of uncertain depth and purpose.

Walls.—Recent examination of the interior of the bastion at the S.E. corner of the wall behind Priory Street showed it to be of hollow construction and a later addition to the Roman wall. The face of the wall was badly ruined before the addition was made, and the tower is carried down a long way below the earlier footings. This evidence renders it improbable that the bastions are Roman work, and though it is insufficient to give a precise date to their building it suggests that they were probably added to strengthen the wall in mediaeval times and served as buttresses as much as for defensive purposes.
