Looking a little as if it has escaped from Brighton or Cheltenham. It is faced in Roman cement. "Very much a clever young man's building ... determinedly Grecian, with all kinds of ornamental tricks. Unhappily, and perhaps inevitably, a rather heartless building also" was Pevsner's, perhaps harsh, verdict. The clever young man was Henry Bassett, 28 in 1831 ( he didn't shine for long, dying in 1847). Grade I listed. It has been converted into flats. The date of the photo is uncertain.
