Description:
|
Front and side elevation of Dunham Massey house, from the south east, with a view of the carriage house and clock tower. Just visible in front of the house is a statue of a figure kneeling and holding a sundial over his head. The house is surrounded by park land and trees. Dunham Massey is an Elizabethan House which was extensively remodelled by John Norris in 1731-40 for the 2nd Earl of Warrington. On the 2nd Earl's death in 1758 the house passed through marriage to the earls of Stamford. In 1789 the entrance was remodelled by John Hope of Liverpool. The ornamental sundial depicts an African slave clad in leaves, carrying the sundial over his head. It is early 18th century and reported to be by either Van Nost or Carpentiere, made in stone with metal dial. The carriage house dated 1721 and a stable building of similar date (both listed grade I) are ranged along the west side of the forecourt south of the Hall.
