Denford Park, Kintburv. Berkshire 3.4 Building C: The Service Wing The Service Wing is a virtually square building to the east of the East Wing but clearly predating it. The evidence suggests that it was probably part of the original house, linked to the Main House by a link range on the site of the present East Wing. 3.4.1 The Exterior Because of the relationship of the building with those adjacent to it, only the north elevation is fully external. Much of the west elevation is obscured by the East Whig (Building B2), and the east elevation by the Service Extension (Building D) - which also projects southwards and obscured the easternmost portion of the south elevation. The range is faced in crisp Bath stone ashlar and there is a plain plinth and a firstfloor band course, as well as a fairly tall but plain solid parapet hiding the base of the roof. Photographic evidence shows that this parapet was only added at a much later date; the roof has overhanging eaves on the photographs in the 1924 Sales Particulars and it seems likely that the parapet was added as part of the late-1930's work. 3.4.1.01 The North Elevation The north elevation probably began as a symmetrical composition but its ground-floor level was subsequently altered. The masonry at that level appears to have been re-set and the joints between the ashlared blocks are cruder than those on the upper part of the elevation. At first-floor level the elevation is of two bays and the two sashes have plain surrounds - their sills being the first-floor band course and their heads immediately beneath the band course at the base of the parapet. At ground floor level the fenestration is not symmetrical. Towards the right-hand, or west, side is a large opening beneath a plain shallow segmental head. This contains a pair of French windows flanked by full-height additional windows of uncertain date. To the left-hand is a pair of sashes set into plain openings with segmental heads that have no relationship to the first-floor window above. Next to them at the end of the elevation is a later lean-to roof covering a low doorway in the wall reached down steps from within. 3.4.1.02 The South Elevation The south elevation is partly obscured by the southern projection of the South-East Range (Building E) which butts against its eastern third. Whilst the ashlar joints are fairly crisp and the stone clearly weathered, there are still indications in the plan form that the elevation has been subject to some subtle and well-wrought alterations. -56- Richard K Morriss & Associates, Historic Buildings Consultants, Bromlow House, Bromlow, Shropshire, SYS OEA
