54 CONSERVATION AREA STATEMENT - Conservation Area No7: FRAMPTON ON SEVERN Trees are one of the most important elements in Frampton on Severn, be they the grand statement specimen trees in the manicured grounds of the Court’s parkland, the artfully planted groupings on the Green, or the many low key, naturalistic orchards. The chestnut avenue, known as the Narles, which leads through open ground and past orchards, to the church, is high among Frampton’s treasures. Water is another defining characteristic of the village. Rivers aside, much of the waterscape of Frampton on Severn is entirely manmade comprising ditches, ponds, canals and the flooded gravel pits.

CONSERVATION AREA STATEMENT - Conservation Area No7: FRAMPTON ON SEVERN Materials, historical and architectural features The earliest buildings in Frampton on Severn are of timber frame, a few being of rare cruck construction but the majority being of simple square- framing. These would have originally been infilled with wattle and daub, though from the 17th century on, these were replaced with brick. Early brick was produced very locally and has distinct variation in colour and quality. Frampton brick was always deemed to be of poor quality. It is full of scorches, speckles, cracks and slumps but has lasted for centuries. Each brick features a range of colours from deep purple to vivid orange but overall the effect is a pinky- apricot. Brick is used not only for walling, both domestic and boundary, but also for chimney stacks (often quite tall in Frampton) and later additions. Stroud District Council 55
