Belleville

Freestanding two-bay three-storey square-plan tower, built c.1830, having corner pilasters. Surviving remains of country house of late eighteenth/early nineteenth-century date. Roof not visible, battlemented parapets to walls, and battlemented turrets to corners. Rendered rubble limestone walls. Square-headed windows to lower floors and round-headed to top floor, with brick jambs. Partial remains of house attached to side. Remains of two-storey outbuildings to rear, having pitched roofs, rendered rubble limestone walls, square-headed window openings to first floor and segmental arched vehicular openings to ground floor.

This tower, the surviving part of a country house, is distinctive in the landscape. Its form and details reflect the fashion for medieval historicism of the early nineteenth century. The ruinous outbuildings accompanying the building provide the context for the house, as a working demesne farmyard.
