Lime Roughcast
Lime Roughcast on repaired Lias of a fifteenth-century lateral stack.
The roughly coursed Lias rubblestone required very extensive tile repair following decay accelerated by
cementitious pointing. Previously the twin shafts had been compromised into a single brick shaft in the nineteenth
century, reducing the individual flue draughts.
The house had always been roughcast and this is usually the preferred finish to severely decayed Lias. The haired lime roughcast was sized to match the surviving medieval roughcast below the lean-to roof. Rain guards and a lightning conductor were added. Completed 2006.
