Details WEYMOUTH SY6684 STOTTINGWAY STREET, Upwey 873-1/6/611 (South side) 12/12/53 No.25 Upwey Manor (Formerly Listed as: STOTTINGWAY STREET, Upwey The Manor House) GV II* Manor house. Dated 1639, modified later in the C17, and with extensive alterations and additions in 1901. The Manor was owned by the Gould family (qv churchyard monument, Church Street) from the C17. Rubble and coursed rubble, slate or tile roofs. PLAN: the original house seems to have had a central hall, one-room depth, with gabled E end, and possibly projecting bay at the W end, as seen from the S; the H-plan postulated by VCH (Mon.338) seems unlikely, as 1900 sale particulars show a flat front to the E; the main E wing was added, with its deep projection in 1901 (dated over a fireplace). At this time a large extension was added to the W end, stepped forward from the main range. Entrance is from the N side, which has a small central recessed gable between full-size flanking gables; to the right is an added unit containing the entrance door, this probably of 1901. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and attic, rectangular-leaded casements are recessed hollow mould mullion, with moulded labels; some of the windows have early external casement stays. The E gable has a 2- above 3-light, with a blocked light to the ground floor; the central recess has 2- above 3- above 4-light, the last with transom, and a 1901 insertion. Above the windows is a flush datestone, inscribed 1639. The W gable has 2 above 3 above 3-light. To the right is a full-height extension in coursed stone and with slate roof, with a C20 plank door under a 4-centred arch with recessed spandrels, and a flanking light, all under a pent-roofed portico with stone slate roof, and various lights. The gables are coped and on kneelers, and each has a small bri
