Ragstone walls are very unusual in Essex and it is recorded a local farmer Thomas Rawlings in 1574 was charged with theft of stone from the now demolished north vestry, it is possible that the wall was constructed of the vestry stonework about this time.

Mainly 2 storeys or 2 storeys and attics. The present front (east) of 2 storeys and attics with gambrel roof. Flat headed dormer to right of external chimneystack. 3 window range of small paned vertically sliding sashes to right of this chimneystack. C20 part glazed door, red tiled porch on brackets. Right single storey range with a C20 glazed door, central 2 light casement and vertically boarded double doors to right. The left return has a 2-window range of small paned vertically sliding sashes and single attic window. To east is a 2 storey porch originally jettied, now underbuilt at sides, the rear range has a dormer window, forward east range with C20 gabled porch and C20 glazed window. Red brick faced double range to south. Internally the wing to the west was a 2-bay hall of late C13 date, the westernmost bay of which has a later double roof, the bay to the east retains its original roof with a crown post with moulded base and capital and thick braces to a collar purlin supported on an end crown post adjoining the crosswing. The whole roof heavily sooted and the base of a smoke louvre opening extant. Circa 1480 intruded brick chimneystack probably preceding the intrusion of the first floor. The wing to the east was originally a 4-bay crosswing with an off-centre narrow bay possibly leading to an external kitchen to the east. The frame of this wing is still in place up to the original roof plate level, from that level upwards attics were added under a gambrel roof probably during the C17 with the incorporation of a contemporary staircase running from an arched opening with imposts and keystone moulded in plaster. That the hall and crosswing were built within a short time span is supported by the fact that although the frames are separate neither exhibit an eternal wall or weathering. There is the possibility that the wing is a replacement of an earlier wing, but the remaining frame has sufficient archaic detailing to suggest this is not the case. Collar purlin scarf is simple splay with undersquinted abutments. RCHM 4.

Rounded cut waters. Total length of bridge 117 feet. Records of bridges on this site date to 1372. The previous bridge C1845 by Thos. Hopper was demolished by a steam traction engine thus the specification for this bridge was stringent. “Composed of best soft grey metal. The whole of the girders to be put together in the yard and proved in the presence of the architect at the contractor’s risk with a hydraulic ram, with the following weights in the centre … each external girder proved with a weight of 16½ tons in the centre with a clear bearing of 47 feet. Each girder to return at once to its original form after proof and to remain without permanent set.” The bridge had a clear width between parapets of 18 feet and for over 100 years carried all road traffic across the River Crouch. During the past few years, the bridge has been widened to the west face to accommodate 2 lane traffic. The original finials are now erected in front of Cromwell House, Rettendon, to the northwest of the bridge. Local history studies. Leslie T. Newman.

15/10001 Rochford Hospital Johnson Isolation Block

II

Hospital Isolation Block, designed in 1993-34 by F W Smith and opened by 1939. Brick in English bond; flat roofs with parapet coping. Two storeys. Unusual arrow-shaped plan with point facing south and culminating in a full-height semi-circular bay with floor-to-ceiling metal windows; this bay topped by a deep projecting cornice to cut mid-day glare. Glass and metal parapet to terrace and first-floor balcony of corresponding profile with short angled return to main block. The long returns then step back, saw tooth fashion, in three full-height, square bays with generous metal windows, the corners open but for slender wood uprights. To rear the plan is cross-shaped with rectangular transept-like projections. Most of the original glazing survives throughout. The design shows strong affinities with the International Modern Style, and is an almost unique example of an isolation block built to care for patients who developed infectious diseases during their hospital stay.

15/1000w Rochford Hospital Main Block, comprising the Broom and Dowsett Wards

II

Hospital administration and ward block. Dated 1938 on foundation stone to the left of the main entrance; in full use by 1946-7. Designed by F W Smith. Brick in English bond with flat roofs; projecting cornice to apsidal bays. Metal windows of an original design; metal and glass parapets to first-floor balconies and terraces to south. Two storeys. Long block on east-west axis serves as principle range; dominated by four apsidal projections, sun lounges, each with floor-to-ceiling glazing and glass parapet to first-floor balcony. Flat-arched entrance in centre leading to shallow, rectangular entrance courtyard. Narrow wings stretch northwards from the rear of the rectangular bays to frame a rectangular block that terminates in a hemicycle containing cafeteria and kitchen facilities. All openings flat arched. The amount of glazing considerably reduced to the north elevations, where the chief architectural interest consists in the low, nearly designed and well proportioned blocks; the cafeteria block alone has extensive glazing, with clerestory to hemicycle. The emphasis on reduced elemental geometries and walls of glass show the clear influence of International Modernism.

Two 18ft (5.4m) horse poles turn a cast iron vertical shaft carrying drive upwards to main wooden spur wheel with iron teeth. Wedlake and Co developed machinery like this at an early date and by 1849 the firm were marketing apparatus for working a bean mill, bruiser, turnip cutter and chaff machine. There are 5 hoppers in the attic, which has a side purlin ridge board roof and V bracing above collars supported by Queen posts. Herringbone strutting to floors. A chaff cutter is on the first floor with chute to ground floor, a cake crusher and grind stone. The gear also pumped water and probably worked other machinery.

The Whispering Court Post stands in the garden approx. 4 metres south of the south wall of the house, the south face is dated KH 1867, the east face 1340 and the north face has a plaque relating restoration November 1935. The date of origin of the Whispering Court is unknown, but it is believed to have been held at Kings Hill, Rayleigh during the reign of Henry III, 12161272. Said to have originated when a normally absentee Manorial Lord returned home and heard, at midnight unsuspecting tenants plotting to murder him. As penance for their treachery they were commanded to assemble at Kings Hill, annually on the Wednesday after Michaelmas at midnight to do homage for their lands in a whisper. Morant says the time is “upon the first cock-crowing; without any light but such as the heavens will afford”. It is believed Robert Riche, second Earl of Warwick moved the Court to Kings Hill, Rochford, nearer his home Rochford Hall. The Deeds of the Manor of Kings Hill stipulate that the post must never be removed. In the C18 a feast was held at The Kings Head before the tenants set off for the Whispering Court. L.E.

The remains of a very large house now a golf club house, said to have been built circa 1540-50 of possibly C12/C13 origin, with later alterations, additions and demolitions. Red brick, ragstone and ragstone rubble, and mixed rubble, the southeast face is plastered, in places the external walls are 2ft 6ins thick. Red plain tiled roofs. Once one of the largest houses in the County with at least 3, possibly 4, courtyards, the whole of the south part has been destroyed. The surviving buildings of the north western courtyard are reduced in height and used as barns, the remaining 2 full height north eastern 2 storey and attic ranges are L plan with the wings joined by an octagonal turret at the north east corner. East face. 2 chimneystacks end left and right forward of ridge between the 2 northern gables. Parapet verge to right. 4 gables with continuous coping, each gable with a truncated finial and a small paned vertically sliding sash window. 5 first-floor small paned vertically sliding sash windows, 3 of which are tripartite, similar range to ground floor. 6-panelled door, moulded surround, semi-circular fanlight with ornate tracery to right of the first window. To the left (south) is a parapeted 2 storey, 2 window range of tripartite small paned vertically sliding sashes, 4 panel 2 light door to right. The taller crenellated octagonal turret to right (north) of mainly red brick with rubble and ragstone shows traces of former plaster. There is a moulded plinth and a band below the crenellations. Ground and first floor original window openings with moulded labels and a similar smaller window to second floor to eastern faces, traces of similar blocked windows to western faces. The northwestern face, mainly of red brick with rubble and ragstone shows traces of plaster. There are 4 gables each with a single octagonal chimney shaft supported below and rising from the apex. Coping to gables. There are traces of attic windows to each side of each chimneystack. 6 blocked first-floor windows now with smaller 3-light casements. The ground floor has been much altered and repaired but blocked openings are visible, now with 5 various windows and 2 doors. Almost central is an external red brick chimneystack to first floor cill level. To the west of the return gable the remains are mainly of 2 storey height with later roofs of red plain tiles or pantiles, hipped to north west angle, gables to southern ranges. At the north western angle are the remains of an octagonal turret similar to that at the northeastern angle also with blocked doorways and windows. Part of the south western and off centre west ranges remain with courtyards between. The western face has remains of 2 blocked windows, one showing traces of 3 lights, there is another blocked window to the eastern wall of this range and the remains of a stair turret in the north western angle of the courtyard, this with an original doorway. A later gable has been erected to the east of this stair turret to east of which is a doorway with a 4 centred head. There are other windows and doorways to the west and east faces of the central range and 2 to the south. Former central projection now with only 2 walls has a moulded doorway to south wall and an opening to north. The northeastern courtyard has a stair turret in the northeastern angle. There are traces of 2 former projections, one with a blocked fireplace. Several original windows, doorways and recesses remain. Other doorways and windows are probably hidden by plaster and rubble infills. The building was

inspected October 1974 by Messrs. A. C. Edwards, C. A. Hewett, M. C. Wadhams and Dr. D. J. E. L. Carrick, the comments made at the time noted “although apparently a building of C16/C17 there is reused older material and in the north west area a building of great age. The west tower could possibly have been built C12/C13, lowered later and then built up again using old material. The bricks are of remarkable uniformity the great majority 9¼ x 2½ x 4 inches, dark red and hard, well moulded and with very straight edges. English bond. Dr. Carrick suggested a date of 1590-1620 for the bricks, but, if earlier are presumably the result of brick makers imported from the Continent. Regarding the attics with chimneys and roofs to match, a date of late C17 is suggested. The view of the group was that there was a building of C12-C13, then ruined and restored early C16 using old materials, then late C16/early C17 the present house was added and many parts of the original stone building rebuilt in brick. Possibly the roof was raised C17. A memo by C. A. Hewett states “The structural carpentry of this building is confirmed as original to the building, the precedent for the techniques employed survives in “The Queens House”, Tower of London, and dated circa 1598, no evidence has been seen that can indicate disturbance or renewal of this timber work which comprises the first floor and roof of parts standing to full height”, and “The standard of accuracy and excellence of finish justifies a Grade I listing and the technological innovation if proved earlier than St. Pauls deanery (1666) is of national importance”. Historically Thos. Butler seventh Earl of Ormonde (d. 1515) once owned the Hall as did Sir Thos. Bullen (d. 1538), father of Ann Boleyn and later Lord Rich (d. 1567) Chancellor of England. During the period 1540-1550 the date given by RCHM for the building it was assigned by Bullen’s elder daughter, Mary, Lady Stafford and her son by her first marriage, Lord Hunsdon. The Rochford Historian, Benton mentions 2 fires, “one in the time of James Butler who was beheaded 1461 and the second 1760 when the Hall remained for some time in a ruinous condition, when the windows were modernised and the red brickwork was encased in plaster”.

The northern barn is weatherboarded with a red plain tiled roof. Near the north eastern angle is a small gateway. The northern wall, running parallel with Hall Road is the tallest section, 3 metres or more and although covered by climbers and shrubs much black diapering shows. Off centre east of the northern face is a southern spur wall, which may have been attached to the now ruined northwest turret of the Hall. The southwestern face is 2-3 metres tall. The south west angle is south of the Hall and the southern face has 2 sections which angle further south and terminates to the south of the Hall.

Hall house with right and left crosswings. Circa 1300 with C15/C16 replacement right (south) crosswing and other alterations and additions. Timber framed and plastered. Red plain tiled roofs. Red brick chimneystack to left crosswing with 4 attached diagonal shafts. Off centre right stack to hall and rear stack to right crosswing. 2 storey crosswings, one storey hall, now with a gabled dormer with 3 leaded casements. H plan. The gabled crosswings are jettied with end brackets.1:1:1 window range. Small paned vertically sliding sashes to first floor left and ground floor right, C19 2 light casement with centre transom to first floor right. Small paned angled bay ground floor right central C19 shop bay of 5 lights with centre transoms and segmental heads. C19 doors to right and left of hall that to left with 2 vertical lights, to right vertically boarded. Interior 2 bay open hall (now 6.9 metres long). Cambered and arched braced tie beam. 2 armed crown post roof. Originally the front and rear walls were braced in herringbone pattern between hall window and cross passage doorways. Original door head survives to rear. Originally there were opposing windows, each with central square post, 2 diamond mullions either side and a transom. Simple crown posts with braces carried down the shafts as pilasters with broach stops. Roof timbers were heavily sooted. Towards the south end are 2 original additional collars set approx. 2 feet below the common collars, use unknown. Radiocarbon dating from hall and north crosswing gave results 610+70 and 670+70, the resulting calibrated age AD calculated on the mean was 1350±85 (HAR 5717; HAR 5718; 1984) indicating a date of circa 1300 as not unlikely. Nothing survives of the original service end of the hall. The present 4 bay replacement is difficult to date but appears C15/C16. The 3 bay north crosswing is of similar date to the hall, but may be slightly later. An extremely fine and imposing red brick chimneystack was inserted into the hall probably between 1490 and 1530. Mantel beam radiocarbon dating gave the calibrated age AD of 1440±80. The mantel beam is cambered, there are 3 decorative brick niches over with corbelled trefoiled heads, these flanked by a lower niche on each side with a plain arched head. A floor was inserted late C16 early C17 (now removed). The north (left) crosswing is of structure similar to the hall and originally multi-braced to the road. There is a door head in the north wall of the central bay. The tie beams are flatter than in the hall, the westernmost was arch braced, front wall, tie beam was originally moulded externally and cambered. Splayed top plate scarfs with undersquinted abuttments and face pegs. Inserted chimneystack with flat stop chamfered mantel beam, possibly contemporary with the Hall chimneystack. There were indications of wall paintings, too fragmentary to retain, but said to be a floral motif. A staircase was inserted at a later date. The south crosswing has a simple crown post roof and halved and bridled top plate scarves. Information from E.C.C. ESB/DAP/LA/A/606/64. RCHM 6.
